Without Obsession Life is Nothing
Or so they say! Watch me over the next three years!
I thought people that were obsessed had mental health problems. To be able to eliminate all other issues when one had obligations to was just being self-centered.
In the past, I did not have time to be obsessed. I was too busy being a wife, a mother, a volunteer, a nurse, and a whole myriad of other things that needed to be done. I did not have time for an obsession.

Some people fear this, but not me. I have so many plans and they have started with writing. Pushing that ‘Publish’ button on Medium changed my comfort zone.
I have become obsessed. I fill my day with reading, writing, listening to webinars or reading articles on how to write better!
I write each morning (morning notes) as per Julia Cameron recommendation. It has been six weeks and I cannot imagine not starting my day without it! Once that is done the day begins.
They say this is a brain dump and once it is on paper, I no longer worry about what I wrote.
