My interest in the unseen forces began early...

3/3/2013

Okay so this isn't the post I promised you on Tapping - or the post I promised myself on my latest adventures in mindfulness...

Those are still coming, I promise (us) :-)

In January I was approached about doing a bit for February's Women In Horror Month, in celebration of and support of women writing for the horror genre. The event's coordinator couldn't have been nicer and I was happy to contribute. Especially when she said one of my episodes of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" was her favorite. Turns out it's also one of my favorite things I've ever written. In case you're interested in reading my little bit of advice to horror writers, here's the LINK.

As I explained when telling WIHM about my app, "it's about mindfulness - the lighter side of my interest in unseen forces". (How cool is it that they added that bit about Remindfulness to their site. Thanks, Women In Horror Month!) If you're a fan of or an aspiring writer of horror, I encourage you to get on their list. I personally think horror is a genre that can only benefit from the addition of feminine perspectives. Am I right about that? I'd love to hear from you.

Hi everyone and welcome to my first blog. As a screenwriter in Hollywood for over 20 years, I was too busy writing for a living to jump on the blogwagon. Now that I've diversified and channeled my energies into a wider range of pursuits, my keyboard isn't getting the workout it used to get -- so I thought maybe it was time. That and the fact my journey towards mindfulness has suddenly gotten rather public with the completion of my app, Remindfulness. This blog is going to be my own personal mindfulness diary, nothing more and nothing less. Because really I'm not sure there's anything more important -- though EVERYTHING SEEMS more important when it comes down to whether to take those 10 deep conscious breaths or interrupt that resentful thought and replace it with a loving thought. I've been attracted to spiritual ideas my whole life and felt the rapturous expansive joy of moments of Oneness...(a few of them, not many, I will be honest) while reading an enlightening book or meditating on a new concept. But integrating what I am learning into my real, daily, brush your teeth, pay bills, procrastinate exercise, life -- that's an whole other thing. That's what I'll be writing about. That journey. And I'd love to hear about yours.
