The Power of Writing

Sometime back I received a lovely email linked to my Sage Melodies blog.  As many of you know, Sage Melodies started as a place for me to compile my dream "to do" list. I knew that I would never get to all the projects, but having them in one place allowed me the chance to 1) find them again! and 2) look for a project to tackle when I was feeling "crafty."

Here is a portion of the email I received from Melanie Bowen, contributing writer for the Mesothelioma Cancer Alliace blog. 

"I asked that you contact me after coming across and reading the great contenton your blog—to log and catalog desires, wishes, and things you plan to accomplish is by far the most important aspect to actually undertaking goals! Most people do not put their thoughts on paper—consequently leaving them without tangible reminders and constant ambition. I’m sure you can imagine how important this idea could be for those going through health struggles regardless of what they may be. An individual going through treatment, in remission, and even the family members of those with chronic or terminal illnesses face everyday challenges of maintaining a quality of life—self-motivation and inspiration is the key!"

Here is one of her blog posts that highlights the importance of setting goals.  I encourage you to take a look.  Maybe it's time to start your own list?

Many thanks to Melanie for highlighting these important truths.
