Allow yourself to write your future

My first book had been years in the making. It took me five years from the first idea until I finally published it. You might ask yourself why. To be honest: I was scared. Because this book was not “just” about telling my story (which I was already used to because I had done already so many time on stage and in all kinds of media).
I started to develop the story by dwelling on it whenever I was in High frequency: out in nature, inspired by a beautiful conversation or when I talked to my kids. We started drawing the storyline on a paper long enough to span the whole living room. I kept telling my kids about my rough ideas and asked them for help. Because I knew: whenever I needed a little magic, kids were the best place to go to. Their playfulness allowed myself to become more playful in writing, too. And I became curious: where did the story want to go? How could I develop it towards its most trueful expression?
Turns out, for this book I opened my Heart fully and let myself be seen with all that I truly believed in. It was about my deepest yearning, my longing for connection, joy and mutual support. I had written the book in an environment which had been tough, challenging, and very exhausting. And from there, it told the dream of how I imagined life should look like. A story about my Heart crying out to leave the old behind and create the new.
Which, in result, first led to me doing: nothing. I didn´t promote my book. I celebrated the publishing date in silence and told nobody about it. Because I was scared. How would my environment react when they saw my whole truth?
But it the quiet moments, I knew it: one day my book would be a bestseller. One day, there would be people who loved and cherished what I created. One day, I would leave the old behind and create what I truly dreamed of.
That´s how my book became not only my compass, but the manifest of what I was truly looking for. I started creating what I had been writing about: The environment I´ve always been dreaming of. Truly supporting. Co-creating in a joyful, curious and playful way. I couldn´t be happier.
Writing is magic. If you allow it to flow naturally, I will lead you to the most beautiful places and allow you to create your own story. The one that makes you truly happy.
