My first daily page

Friday, Oct 3rd 2014. 7:45am. Here I am in front of my computer with a coffee. Emails to answer, things to do as usual. My 3 month old son is sleeping, my husband and my 3 year old daughter are already on the road.

Silence! Just me and my coffee in front of my computer! Magic moment.

By the window I see a sunny Friday arising in Seattle. Yes, a sunny Friday in Seattle in October!

Why am I writing?

This is a habit that I’ve been trying to develop. I usually write in my mind and that’s it. But a few minutes ago, I read James Altucher post about “Can You Do One Page A Day?”

WOW. It seems a life changing event. What a luxurious invitation.

Well, I am on board.

I’ve been thinking of writing, bought books about it here and there, started blogs, thought of attending a Natalie Goldberg workshop. Each one of these steps seem to be intermittent attempts driving nowhere. Or, as I prefer to think, they are part of a waltz piece called my writing: isolated in a singular step they don’t make sense; but connected, these singularities are part of an evolving process.

  1.  What I am always amazed by is to observe the flow of convergent events that are dancing like a waltz, and at the right moment this convergence allows something to come. – Only at the right moment. –
  2. It makes me think, as a species, what are we aware of? Are we aware of an illusionary idea that we drive and decide everything in our life? Or, instead, we may accept to take the right and possible step at each moment and be enlightened by the flow we will create for us, around us – at the right moment.

Cant wait for tomorrow.

As James Altucher said on his post, “this is my page today”.

Thank you so much, James.
