  • First off I want to say fantastic blog! I had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if you do not mind.
    I was curious to know how you center yourself and clear your head before writing.
    I've had a hard time clearing my thoughts in getting my thoughts out.
    I truly do take pleasure in writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15
    minutes are generally lost just trying to figure out how to begin. Any recommendations or tips?

    Appreciate it!

    little bit of it. I have you saved as a
    favorite to look at new things you post…
