My newest idea

I haven't written for months.  Shameful, isn't it?  A writer who stopped writing.  Well unless you count my job...I write there everyday.

I am starting another book idea, and I started it last night.  But this time I'm going to go WITH my nature instead of against it, and it's going to be a non-fiction book.  Because non-fiction is just what I do.  I tried the fiction thing twice and it's just not working for me.

Write what you know, they say.  Yeah.  I seem to need reminders every so often!

So I just got accepted into a yoga teacher certification program yesterday.  I'm really excited, but nervous too.  And because I know how flaky I can be, and because I'm a little scared about taking on this new challenge, I decided to add on an additional challenge for myself to give me some extra motivation and purpose.

I'm going to write a book about it.

Yeah...that's the plan anyway.  I want to document my journey from normal Elizabeth, a Christian although not a devout one, into the world of Hinduism and yoga and meditation.  And my path to learning about yoga, learning to teach it, and learning about my body and mind.

Seems like a good plan.

I figure I can take the notes and use them or not.  But my second dream has always been to write a book.  Or multiple books.  And I still have that dream inside myself.

So why not write about this?  Seems like a good idea.  So I'm making it my newest one.

Namaste.
