​Packaging our hopes, dreams, goals, and the reality of life responsibilities into a box and then sorting through to make sense of everything in a way that feeds our souls and gives our lives meaning can be overwhelming and confusing. Are you at a point in your life where you question if you are on the right path? Do you have dreams packed away in the back of your heart and mind that play with your thoughts and imagination and refuse to be silenced? Are you facing life-changing decisions like a new job, a move, or a new business venture? Are you struggling with areas of your personal life that are holding you back from enjoying peace? We all have struggles; knowing when to reach out for support as we ponder our options makes all the difference.

As your Holistic Directional Consultant, I will partner with you to wade through that "box" of information, emotions, and obligations so that you are not as overwhelmed. Every decision we make, every action we take affects all that we are. I'll help you take a holistic viewpoint of where you are and where you want to be in regards to your goal. I'll support and encourage you on a journey of self-exploration to identify the true direction you were meant to travel in this life.

Our final NaNoWriMo get together is tomorrow, Wednesday, November 30 at the James Kennedy Public Library. The aspiring authors who have worked hard all month on their novels and creative writing are hosting a group Author Talk for the public. Everyone is welcome to join us and hear these talented individuals share their work. We will begin at 6pm.

NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) 2016 began on Tuesday, November 1 at the James Kennedy Pubic Library in Dyersville, Iowa. We had 4 participants for this creative month-long journey toward finishing a rough draft novel of at least 50,000 words. If you aim to write each day, that's 1667 words a day in the month of November. Writers are already checking in and keeping me posted on their progress.

We have set aside Wednesday, November 30 7pm for a "Meet the Author" program where each of our 4 authors will share about their work. This will be open to the public. Refreshmens will be served. I hope you will take time to stop by and encourage our local writing talent. Event will be held at the James Kennedy Public Library in Dyersville, Iowa.
