I have recently fallen into the abyss of a writing drought.  Rather than procrastinate there any longer, I decided this evening to take the same advice I give many of my clients.  Do a One Step.

It’s right there in the new book I just published with my partner Sue Guiher, called Stop Spinning Plates: How to Lose Your Balance and Become a Thriving Mother.  Feeling stuck or overwhelmed?  Take One Step.  Just do one little thing rather than being so hard on yourself (or myself, as the case may be) for not doing the massive amounts of things necessary to court the illusion of being considered valid.

And I gotta tell you.  It works.  Baby steps.  I’m writing.  Thank you.

Which leads me to let you know that today, after days of the flu, I walked outside when the wind was in a lull and I could feel the 75 daffodil bulbs I planted in October stirring slightly under the frozen soil.

Shall we dance?  One Step.  Here’s to us.

P.S.  Find the book at www.stopspinningplates.com!
