 Author guestpostsI am delighted to welcome a one-time client of mine, Morgana Morgaine, to guestpost for me today. Her recently published book is a goodie and her story will inspire any of you out there who are stuck in a rut or think you may be too old to make a change and do what you love. If you love playing with words then the way she writes will delight you as much as it delighted me. You could eat [...]  inspirationAs DJMC he is a role model for all those corporate beings who dare not admit they are musicians, sportsmen, writers, artists, ADD, or somehow not simply men or women in suits. Always and everywhere, he is now himself, still a poet, still a very funny man but now an inspiration to us all. [...] writingKathy’s talk is a brilliant example of someone who has found her story and found a way to communicate that story perfectly so that it fits her brand. As she tells her story, the audience is sucked into it. Together we learn a little about her childhood, growing up on the farm in New Zealand. We lick our lips as she tells us of her father’s love for tiramisu, her mother’s for caramel meringue and we nod knowingly when she shares insights into the value of sitting round a table with great minds, inspired by the man who created The Eden [...] inspirationAnd this made me reflect on the last 30 days I have spent blogging (almost) daily as part of the Ultimate Blog Challenge.

No, this post is about how writing can be a kind of therapy. A way to look inside yourself, ask yourself burning questions and search for your own answers. When I do this kind of journalling it is as if I am talking to myself. [...] inspirationTom then set me two challenges: to join the Ultimate Blog Challenge and to write only about things that come from my heart, my soul and my gut. Gulp.
