Tilt # 50 - Remembering who I am!

It has been over 18 months since I was derailed by perfectionism and fear of not-good-enough. Sometimes I wonder how long this process of unlearning and reclaiming of my core will take. I had figured with my bright mind, open heart, and relentless pursuit of learning, this self-work would have taken a lot shorter to wrap up with a tidy little bow.

I know that if I ever want to be a published writer, I need to publish my writing. I need to stop worrying about what my reader will think and focus instead on what the writer in me needs to communicate.

So, this post found on social media this week from Mike J. Fields is doing a kick-butt good job awakening me and reminding me to find my badass resilient self to rise and write whatever calls me to write. Let's see if this next round of battling perfectionism ghosts will yield victories never experienced before.

The ground beneath my feet is rumbling...I can feel it...
