Posted on March 1, 2013 at 12:14 pm
I would love to have this book! I've set a goal to write on the weekends this year and often find myself with an extreme mental blockage. I've searched online for prompt/help which results in only fueling my monkey mind.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 12:14 pm
I appreciate your bringing great books to my attention in my daily FB feed. I have found a couple that will, I am sure, add much to the richness of my path. Thank you!

A useful book for someone, who wants to express oneself in writing.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 12:16 pm

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 12:29 pm
Sounds like fun! I could use some mind-opening!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 12:31 pm
Engaging in a writing practice has been beneficial to my writing skills, creativity, and developing a strong voice!

This book seems like it would be a very useful tool for those of us trying to do some soul searching, and finding ways to put our feelings and thoughts into print form. It seems as though it would allow one to gain further insight into ourselves, by going back and reading what we have written! Thank you for the opportunity to have a chance at winning this book in your giveaway! :)

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:03 pm
I struggle with journaling. My heart wants to, but my brain gets stuck. I would love to try your guide to writing.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:03 pm
This would be welcome...I've never had much inspiration to write creatively!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:07 pm
I can't wait to get started!

Let the doors be blown open!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:30 pm
Many times, I just find myself ready to write and not able to find anything I really want to SAY. So I stare at the paper or the screen and end up writing nothing, and not succeeding in my goal. I would love to find a better way to connect with emotions, feelings and inner thoughts to get them out in my writing in an easier way!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:32 pm
Looks great! I need new ideas for my writing!!!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:33 pm
I have had a story in me for years, it needs some help to get out and onto paper though!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:35 pm
Hope I win!!!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:37 pm
Lost my connection to writing--this book looks like multi-ways to get it back!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:45 pm
I've had this book on my 'Wish List' for quite some time now ... I would be so happy to win it! Thanks so much for the opportunity and good luck to all! :-)
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 1:46 pm

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 2:02 pm
Looks like a great book!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 2:05 pm
Writing terrifies me.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 2:38 pm
Hopefully, this could help me and my wife get back into writing.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 2:48 pm
I have started writing again, trying to find my path which I've lost. This book would hopefully guide me.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 2:51 pm

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 4:14 pm
Oooooh inviting the jittery mind into slips of time with pen in hand - what a lovely invitation into this space. Sounds like a great 'container' within which to explore. Bravo Karen. I'm thinking it might be good for quiet group work as well perhaps...
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 4:20 pm
Ah! I've been looking for a book like this! My discursive mind really kicks up every time I sit before a blank page. I feel like there is so much in me but my inner critic keeps blocking my clear access to it. (Case in point: I edited this comment 5 times)
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 4:30 pm
i'd enjoy a boost to my writing practice....i've been not writing lately and i miss that downtime, that self-care that is so crucial for me in terms of writing to stay sane. om nivah shivaya.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 4:36 pm
I love to do a bit of writing before getting down to my creative work. Sometimes even after the fact if I'm particularly inspired. I would love to delve deeper!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 4:52 pm
My husband has been a closet writer for some time now, and in the last year has been coming out. Would love to give him this book for his birthday!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 4:56 pm
Sounds great!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 5:13 pm
Sounds great. My husband would absolutely love to have this book who is a hobbyist writer.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 5:18 pm
This book sounds great. I would love to get this book for my husband who loves to write, I showed it to him and he is keen to get a copy.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 5:21 pm
As a writer and teacher of poetry, this would be a great book to explore and share.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 6:05 pm
Need inspiration to unleash my inner book! This sounds wonderfully mindful. Can't wait!

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 6:42 pm
I'love to read this book and find some novel ideas to write about!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 6:45 pm
This book would be the perfect inspiration to lead my writing from mind to page.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 6:52 pm
I have picked up my pen this year after keeping my idea for a book for youth on the back burner for years. Looking for inspiration to guide my way. Thank You for this opportunity for help with my creative outlet.
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 9:28 pm
This looks like a fun book!
Posted on March 1, 2013 at 9:43 pm

Posted on March 1, 2013 at 10:04 pm
I would love to have this book! I've set a goal to make a movie based on a Jitaka tale in the summer. There's only one problem, though: I haven't written it!
Posted on March 2, 2013 at 12:07 am
Would love the book before I leap.
Posted on March 2, 2013 at 9:48 am
Thank you!
Posted on March 2, 2013 at 1:08 pm
I would love to read anything that would help quiet my critical mind. Actually, beating it into submission would be great but I'm happy to start with gentle.
Posted on March 2, 2013 at 2:26 pm
I'm always looking for ways to free up my creative side, but this book sounds perfect for some of the people in my life. I would like to share this book with them to help them on their paths. Namaste.
Posted on March 2, 2013 at 2:29 pm
I have just decided to finally work on my writing. This sound like a great book to get started/motivated on that.
Thanks.

Indeed - Words to Soar ~
Posted on March 4, 2013 at 8:19 am
This is something that has the potential to 'reawaken" my creative potential...I once had a passion for writing, but lost track of it along my path through life...My heart and soul would welcome this with open arms (or mind).
Posted on March 4, 2013 at 10:36 pm
I'm working on recovering my creativity. This looks like a great read!
Posted on March 5, 2013 at 11:58 am
I am a writer and love the idea of this!!! Would love a guide on this type of journaling!!! :)
Posted on March 5, 2013 at 2:37 pm
What a timely offering. Finding myself frequently writing in beautiful spaces, and all forms of guidance and inspiration are so timely for me. Namaste.
Posted on March 5, 2013 at 5:46 pm
Timely! Up at 2:00am, can't sleep and want to write about these emotions keeping me awake!
Posted on March 6, 2013 at 12:56 pm
I would love a copy of this book... New inspiration is always needed!
Posted on March 7, 2013 at 12:13 am
I am an international graduate student at Naropa University majoring Transpersonal Counseling Psychology. I've been having hard times writing papers. Even though I've received lots of A+ for my papers, it is still difficult for me to write because of my high level of anxiety and fear. I think it would be very helpful for me to work on my difficult emotions while writing if I get to read this book! Thank you! :)
Posted on March 7, 2013 at 1:24 am
Great idea. Love the name, and leaping. ;)
