Have you ever had an Ah-Ha moment? I have and I hope that every person has at least one in their lifetime. I'm hoping that I have more as the feeling is totally incredible!
About a year or so ago I began writing a book. I chose a title and outlined the chapter headings and even started chapter one. I liked the title but it just never felt like "it". I kept letting it rumble around in my head and didn't get back to writing too much.
Well recently while getting ready for one of my workshops in my head I was addressing the women and telling them that I am a work in progress. Ah-Ha, A Work In Progress, that's "it"!!!! So I have now restructured all of my chapter headings and written a new introduction and begun new, and improved, chapters. In that Ah-Ha moment, I also envisioned the cover of my book in relation to the theme. It was VERY clear and visible in my head. I couldn't be more excited about this project. On my dreams list is to be an author and so my dream is closer than ever before.
I could never have imagined the power and impact of such a moment even if someone had asked me to describe such a thing. I didn't force it to come, I didn't try to make it happen. It just finally did. I knew that I wasn't quite there but now I know for sure where to go with it.
My book will be a stand alone, self help book with fill ins from each chapter so the reader will want to really understand the context. Then there will be a self assessment page for relating the topic to the reader's life experience. I also plan to create a keynote program around the book that I could present at women's groups, conferences and ladies days.
Now I just need to get writing and let my book fully come to life. I'll keep you posted.
Until next time,
Val
