HOW VULNERABLE IT IS TO GET WHAT YOU WANT.

You want it, but it is hard to ask for. Going for it makes you feel wobbly.

And yet it is the best. It is so worth it.

This is what it takes to create, to write, to make something huge in your life.

When I was younger I told myself I wasn’t creative. I didn’t know what made me special.

In fact, I had a sense that if people knew everything going inside me–all the fears, all the feelings, and all the thoughts–that they would see that I am not good enough.

Creativity was hard because it seemed easy to get wrong, whereas school had clear answers I could memorize and get right.

I wanted to be seen but I was terrified. I loved singing, writing, dancing, making magic—but to protect myself, for a long time I convinced myself that none of those things were really “me.”

I just didn’t want to look bad because then someone would stop being my friend, I would be fired and fail, or everyone would think I was weak, overly sensitive, mean, or a loser.

Basically, I would be shunned–and I’d experienced what that was like from a few bullies already.

I didn’t really accept myself and by the time I was out of college, I started to be more aware of this. I got therapy and worked on myself, but it felt like people kept dumping on me.

Then I would feel awful and blamed myself. I could not figure life out.

But luckily, my path led me to begin writing every day. Writing started showing me the feelings and thoughts I was avoiding.

And that included dreams I wasn’t listening to, and the wise part of me that knows what to do: my True Voice.

I went from not being creative, to realizing I am passionate about a number of creative modes.

Going from A to Z started as being vulnerable—one step at a time, one moment at a time, one interaction at a time.

It’s vulnerable to try. It’s vulnerable to even want to try. But it’s the best thing you’ll do in your life.

Don’t let your environment teach you what is possible. Keep trying something new.

Give yourself freedom to be WEIRD and MESSY–and just try.

Are you strong enough to be vulnerable?

I’ve always been drawn to spiritual leadership–learning from teachers all over the world including a Masters in Spiritual and Pastoral Care how to help people through their dark times of confusion by calling on the creative spark.

Creative energy is a part of each of us. Ultimately we are all our own teachers.

Here’s what I learned that I didn’t expect after years of searching.

Our dark times, our suffering, our questions are all a part of our unique mission: 

to be fully ourselves and live out the purpose of our existence.

What is that purpose? It took me a long time to understand mine.

For me writing, creating, and mentoring others is a part of my purpose.

So is:

Walking through nature and traveling.

Falling in love with my fiance and asking him out.

Reading books that excite me.

Feeling good under the sun.

Wearing the colors that make me smile.

I believe your life is your biggest work of art–I want to help you blend the colors to create the masterpiece that will sustain you and make you feel truly alive and vibrant.

SUMMARY FOR THE WEEK OF 11.12.20

This is what I call a “Mind Body Spirit” Reading, with one card for each aspect of where you are this week, and what to keep in mind to be in the best space.

Card 1. The Mind: Eight of Pentacles

What you have on your mind is knowledge that you are not as far along in your career or skill sets as you would like. But in reality, you have come a long way in mastering things.

Reflect on your gifts, and the skills you have spent time developing See things as an opportunity for further growth.

Card 2. The Body: Page of Wands

Trust your instincts in your physical body. Pay attention to what your feelings tell you. Explore your physical sensations and pour it into your creative outlets.

It’s okay to take an experimental mindset and try things with a beginner’s mind. Try to have fun with it and embrace the excitement.

Card 3. The Spirit: Justice Reversed

The world as a whole can appear to be a very unjust and unfair place, which you may have feelings about.

Are you willing to release trauma and anger around that? Sometimes suffering is a part of beauty. If you invite Spirit into the situation there can be a healing shift or miracle to free you and others.

Hear more words and tools to help you break through this week on my podcast–it even includes a free Akashic Records Healing Session!

The Akashic Records is a system of information that is a part of the fabric of the universe. Intuitives can read that information, and it’s possible to create a healing on those places where you find life difficult.

I love using this tool to help groups of people to break through! I felt called to offer it for free this week. 🙂

And remember

The book won’t write itself!

The song won’t sing itself!

The business won’t launch itself!

Keep going.

If it seems hard, ask me for a free 15-30 minute Creative Discovery Session to explore what your life would look like if it were a work of art, and you were its artist!

A lot of people are in a dark place right now, not just in America, but around the world. 

We are not meant to be isolated. We are not meant to feel powerless.

I know what it is like to spend over a decade feeling both. Now I feel nourished and connected in a deep intimate way. I feel at ease knowing my words connect with people around the planet. I am adding positivity.

Writing and creating heal all of those feelings of isolation and powerlessness. Even when memories of the past haunt me, writing, creating and doing what my intuition tells me leads me out of the shadows.

I know it seems like an inevitability of these times and the things the moment is calling us to do–but some of these negative feels are a state of mind.

Of course, you can feel bad because of the environment you find yourself in, and the situations you experience. 

But it’s possible even in the worst possible moments, that you can do something to make yourself feel better.

Writing helps you connect to others–that’s what all art does if something else speaks to you.

It expresses your soul so that you can connect to the consciousness of another person.

That is POWERFUL.

That is BEAUTIFUL.

You are here to be powerful and make something beautiful, something that will change the world in some way.

All of us have a mark to leave on this Earth.

What is yours?

There is one place you can go that will always tell you the answers.

ASK YOUR SOUL. 

Breath, put your hand on your heart and ask your physical body and the soft, quiet spirit inside of you, “What do I do next?”

The #1 key to making faster progress on all the goals that really matter…

Whether it is a book, a blog, a personal project, or passion, I want to help you to do that.

Really want to get something out of 2020 and use the last bit of the year to build towards creative projects that are really important to you? 

Heads up: Addressing this one thing will help you soar. 

I had to do this to pass massive milestones in the last year: publish my first book, draft another, play concerts in Japan, and ask out the man of my dreams (we have been together now for 10 months!).

Want progress? Here’s how to create more powerfully: FORGIVE YOURSELF.

People get triggered by that concept because it’s like I’m accusing you of doing something wrong.

Here’s the thing: we all do things wrong. If you really think you never did anything wrong in your whole life…well, I’m doubtful! Because that is what being human is.

As you grow, you let go of the past versions of yourself. 

Forgiving yourself helps you move on and be the next evolution of who you are.

You must forgive yourself for the actions you have taken in the past to evolve.

You would be surprised at the huge shifts you can have when you release all of the energy that you use to make yourself wrong or make yourself feel bad.

Feeling guilt or feeling bad for doing something wrong is one way to approach things that doesn’t actually help you that much.

Punishing yourself and feeling bad supposedly serves you somehow to teach you to do better or to help you to be better to other people—but it isn’t the only way to change.

Why do you need to suffer in order to learn that lesson?

You could still enjoy life, and inspire others by being positive and loving.

When you feel better about yourself, you’re going to have more to give to other people. You will be more balanced.

Learn. Be different. Meanwhile, leave the baggage behind.

I have a free Ebook on how to use EFT tapping for self-forgiveness work.

If you want to make faster progress, I highly recommend this tool.

It’s so beautiful! I am so happy and excited to share the book with you.

Dark Legacies, Book 1 of the Blood Witch Series.

Coming March 2021

It’s up to Roxana to unravel dangerous secrets about her family, their farm, and the powers no one else wants her to claim.

In a world where magicians and witches practice covertly, “Boy-crazy” Roxana Tiernan just wants to earn her magic certificate from the elite Rosenthorne Academy, start a job as a hands-on healer, and pay off the family debt.

She thought the humiliation of flunking out would be her ultimate nightmare, but her nutty grandma says she never should have flunked, her mother’s death wasn’t an accident, and the people responsible for both are still out there.

Now it’s up to Roxy to find the truth. But the more she learns, the more her safety seems uncertain and everyone around her becomes suspicious—especially Julian Fletcher, persistent admirer and heir to the company.

As her family becomes more vulnerable to attack, who can she trust? Since no one she knows can guide her, she must unlearn everything she thought she knew to unlock her power…

Enjoyed by fans of Practical Magic, A Discovery of Witches, and the Secret Circle.

See the Replay here

I’ve gone from feeling different and alone, to having a vibrant community of supportive people around me who really get me. ⠀

The key for me was writing–it’s helped me process many intense things that have occurred (and are occurring).

I want everyone to know what it is like to have people love what you have to share–even your innermost feelings, and thoughts that you don’t like sharing with others.

And writing is one of the least expensive ways to do that–all you need is paper and pen.⠀

There is a way to use writing to heal and connect to others it in a healthy way.

There also are common pitfalls to avoid.

Check out the live to empower yourself to be your creative best!

See the event on Tricia’s facebook page here

I can’t wait.

This is all part of my experiment to be out there more and try new things!

Let’s not take life too seriously–that’s one of the biggest problems my clients have.

They get so intensely focused that they lose their creative edge.

What is something you are playing around with? Feel free to contact me let me know! love making new connections.

We never know how we can be a win-win to each other.

Sofia Wren

P.S. Thanks for being on the journey with me. I’m excited to see where this experiment takes me!

Hope you can join one of the live events today and connect <3 but if you can’t make it I hope we can connect another way soon.

For you if you need to hear it today: Please know you are not alone <3 people love you.

So you’ve been through a lot of crap–how do you know what to do next to be more creative and productive? Difficult emotions do make it more difficult to find clarity.

First off, knowing for sure that you want to do something scary can be really hard. If you grew up and you didn’t belong somewhere and you didn’t feel like it was okay to be yourself like me, then it can be really difficult to figure out what your heart is actually telling you to do.

It gets clouded and you may struggle to know, “What is my individual perspective? What is the thing that I really want to do? And can I give myself permission?” Cause it’s kinda terrifying.

Do you have clarity on this? If not, it sounds strange but maybe ask yourself WHY you’d want to do anything scary or difficult, generally (or not).

Do you ever convince yourself not to do something because it is scary? Or do you ever FORCE yourself to do something BECAUSE it is scary?

I’ll admit I’m the kind of person who has forced herself to do uncomfortable things my whole life. I asked my first boyfriend out over the phone, for instance, oh boy the nerves.

I used to be terrified all the time, and then I felt like I had no way out except to push myself to do scary things all the time. It’s led to some great things, but it’s also not ALWAYS the answer.

When is it good to push yourself to do scary things?

What I’ve learned is that while you figure out WHAT to do, you really have to ask yourself WHY you want something. 

The reason WHY you do things is what really matters, especially if you’ve been through a ton of shit in your life.

Ask yourself, are you doing it for the right reason?

How do I do this? By writing!

Writing is a great tool to

• A. Figure out what you are interested in doing and
• B. Figuring out WHY you want to do it.

So give it a shot— write for a few minutes on your current goals and why they are so important.

Are they important to your heart–the deep down part of you at the core? Are they?

Or are you thinking about something and someone else? Let me know how it goes!
