Every journey begins with a single step...
And this here...is mine. 💗
1. Why?
I had an amazing call this morning, with a - now fellow 😎 - substacker. He has started a community here around the book that he is currently writing. And I have been looking for exactly this, without ever having heard of substack. 🙈
So here I am now, finding my way forward, baby step by baby step! 🥳 Hang in there, as I figure out how all of this works! 😁
2. What?
I am looking to share my experiences, my learnings, my thoughts and tribulations with the writing process, but also my wins, my insights …
I have been deeply struggling with the common approach of “sit daily and write” and “if you don’t write daily, if your book is not finished in x amount of time, you are not writing, you are procrastinating.” This approach may work for some people. But for me it definitely doesn’t. I tried it. And HATED what came through when I forced myself. But I LOVE what drops in when I allow it to flow through me and when the energy is supportive.
I want to share this journey, in order to show anybody who needs to see this, that there ARE other ways than just the forceful one. 💗
We CAN absolutely write and finish a book by allowing it to flow through us, without being the director that constantly dictates and controls.
We can allow. We can be open. We can receive. And: we can complete nonetheless.
Also - obviously - I want to share my book with you!! 😁
To give a quick scope: imagine Pixar’s “Soul” meets Neil Donald Walsh. It’s about a little Soul, who chooses her challenges and gifts, her appearance and family, and all the things before she incarnates into her next life. And it essentially describes my own spiritual journey, but I only noticed that after I almost finished writing the first version of it. 😅
So in this substack, you will be meeting Saima, the little sun ☀️ and her endeavors on the Fairground of Life. 🥰
3. How?
In these days, our inboxes are all pretty much bombarded and BURSTING. (If yours isn’t: congratulations! 😁)
So I want to be conscientious of your time and space - and of mine as well. I am aiming to send one mail per week at maximum, with the intention of supporting you on your writing journey - if you are on one or planning the undertaking - or simply allowing you to accompany me on mine, to watch my book come alive.
And who knows … maybe something that happens here wants to be included in it … 💗

So excited you said yes to this journey Chris! Love sharing space with you and I know your book will feel right at home in this community. Still so excited about your book, I loved the animated film Soul and am in a book club reading Book 3 of Conversations with God every Sunday. So many synchronicities we share, so wild!
I’m so in love with the idea for this book! I can’t wait to read it and meet this sweet little soul! 💕
