			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">When I first created my poem and poster &#8220;<em>Just for Mom,</em>&#8221; my mother did not realize that it would be going out to more people than just her.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Once she found out that thousands were being printed,  she wanted to scrutinize every line.</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">She loved that it said things like &#8220;<em>waltz in the kitchen with mom.</em>&#8220;</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">and &#8220;<em>moms always have Kleenex,</em>&#8220;</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">and &#8220;<em>we only get one mom- we can adopt others.</em>&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">There is also a line I wrote that says &#8220;forgive all the old junk,&#8221; that led her to declare indignantly: &#8220;WHAT old junk?&#8221;</span><br />
<span style="color: #0000ff;">To which I replied: &#8220;like what you&#8217;re doing right now, thinking we have no old junk!&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">She laughed so hard and the conversation that followed caused a tremendous healing between us, and really put the <strong>WOW</strong> in <strong>MOM</strong> for me.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">To honor this memory of my Marvelous Mom Marjorie I&#8217;ve put together a special for this Mother&#8217;s Day weekend only. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">To see the details click here: <span style="color: #ff0000;"><a href="http://planetsark.com/buy-stuff/transformational-programs/sarks-dream-boogie-yourself-study-program/"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>SARK&#8217;s Dream Boogie YourSELF + Just for Mom 11&#215;14 poster</strong></span></a></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>All your dreams are already coming true! </strong></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">We forget that the whole universe conspires to give us what we need for our dreams, even when we&#8217;re not directly &#8220;<em>working on them</em>.&#8221; </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Everything good does not come through &#8220;<em>hard work</em>.&#8221; Think about all of the support and serendipity you&#8217;ve already received. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">The angels and helpers that gather to assist, are so <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>GLAD</strong></span> when we show them exactly and specifically what we need, with joyfull hearts and willing hands. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important to <span style="color: #0000ff;"><strong>speak our creative dreams out loud</strong></span> and have them witnessed by other kindred spirits. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;">Who have you told lately?</span></p>

&#160;
Whenever I hear the expression &#8220;willy nilly&#8221; it makes me smile.
&#160;
It most often represents something scattered or all over the place, or random.
&#160;
Random is perfect for writing!

If you write in a random fashion, celebrate that. If you are more linear, experiment with writing &#8220;willy nilly&#8221; and see what happens.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Published writing is not &#8220;better&#8221; than other writing. For so many unpublished years, I experienced what felt like  judgement from people who would ask what I was writing, and then quickly ask:<em> &#8220;Are you published?&#8221;</em> </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">When I said <em>&#8220;No,&#8221;</em> they would often lose interest. I didn&#8217;t know then that <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>my unpublished writings were just as valuable as what I would later publish</strong></span>. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">To publish merely means to <em>&#8220;make public,&#8221;</em> and my writing needed time to grow and develop out of public view. And, if you choose to publish your writing, or already have, know that there are many gifts and benefits in doing so!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>I invite you to let your decisions about publishing your writing- or not- come from your belief in your own writing.</strong></span></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">I&#8217;m so inspired by all of the wonderFULL writers in <a href="http://bit.ly/WINScallMar"><strong>WINS &#8211; Write It Now with SARK</strong>  </a>this cycle.  I&#8217;ll be opening up the next cycle Thursday April 12th and am inviting YOU to our Haven and Accelerator for writers!  <span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Your words belong in the world &#8211; published or unpublished!</strong></span></span></p>

<p>This part of you is <strong>powerfull</strong>, <strong>creative</strong>, and <strong>expressive</strong> and wants you to acknowledge and empower it to act through writing, more consistently.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>So often our other inner critics take the stage, and crowd out the inner writer.</p>
<p>Ask for help from your inner Wise Self and &#8220;interview&#8221; the inner writer and see what that part needs.</p>
<p>Then create the conditions that will most please and support your inner writer.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You&#8217;ll be amazed at how easily more writing gets written.</p>

<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Hearing their stories has reminded me to share with you that only you can write what you write. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">No matter how many people write about a subject, if <strong>YOU</strong> haven&#8217;t written about it, it hasn&#8217;t been written. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">You and your gifts are unique.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">You gift the world with your uniqueness through your writing. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">Get going!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #0000ff;">We need to read what you will write.</span></p>
