my idea journal--you need one, too
Two years ago I shared the story behind Steady Days. The idea for that book came from my husband.
The idea for Mindset for Moms, on the other hand, came from the bathtub. Well, I mean I was taking a bath at the time.
I had been tossing around the thought of writing an e-book for a while, but didn't want to do it unless I had a unique message that I also had the experience and passion to write about.
Getting out of the bath, I put on clothes and came rushing to my desk--thoughts for all the chapters streaming from my mind. I grabbed my journal and started writing furiously to get it all down before it escaped me.
I knew it was an inspired idea.
I used to think ideas were hard to come by. Now I realize that by thinking that way I pushed some of them away.
A mother's intuition provides constant feedback throughout our day. I believe it is part of the way in which God speaks to us, giving the guidance we so desperately need.
But if you're like me, you've rationalized and analyzed that little voice away. When our mind is constantly racing with a million thoughts we miss the ideas that come.
Pay attention to your inspired ideas. They contain the fuel for an inspired life.
