I am having to admit to myself that I am having a hard time coming up with ideas to write about. I know I don't have to do this everyday. And yet I do have to. Does that make any sense? No of course it doesn't, but in a way it does. Because I know I am not the only person on the planet, that starts things with a whoop and a hollar, and then over time exhausts that enthusiasm and allows what ever they have started to get stale and then...yeah. Because let's face it -- knowing myself as I do, if I don't write every day, this writing thing will fizzle out. So I have been, this past week--just to keep up this daily habit, of getting on line and posting SOMETHING--making little mini posts. And OK, I know, they're not great. But I am doing it to keep myself posting, until this dry spell is over and I begin to get those little nudges again, those little inner whisperings. Until life begins to look amazing and magical again. Until I get some revelation, that I simply can't wait to share with everyone that I know. Is it because the season is changing? It's not Summer and it's not Autumn, but it's in between? No I don't think that's it. Because usually I'm at my best when I'm spacey and ungrounded. That's when I catch the tail of the kite and ride the wind. Then I can anchor it by writing about that ride, if I'm quick enough. I can ground it and bring it to earth in a story. So for now, I will have to be content to write snipets of nonsense and hope that my fickle muse wakes up or comes back from holiday or resigns so that a new muse can take up the post. Or at very least, that she will send in a substitute muse to temp for her. Maybe she is out gathering new material. I miss our wacky conversations. So darling muse, please hurry back and fill my walls again with your presence. I can't wait to start collaberating with you again.

Hi Rita and thanks for your honesty and vulnerability! I am such a fan of you!!!! I am going through the exact same thing right now and maybe it does have a little bit to do with the seasons or the planets--who knows? I appreciate the courage you have to write anyway. I'll have to find out what I should be doing to maximize the time when I cannot produce fun and clever topics to write about! :) Supporting you...

Thank you. I really appreciate you so much. Your contribution as an artist who creates healthy nourishing food cooked with love, and your passion for educating people around food issues, goes a long way in healing the planet.

I am such a big fan of Rita's Blog! I eagerly anticipate the posts about her musings on Twitter as she offers a well lit voice and connection to spirit. She is always right on the mark in terms of intuitive reading and guidance around the issues of the day. I recommend that anyone seeking spiritual guidance have a good read of her blog and find that connection we all seek when life gives us challenges!
Rita, I have to say I really admire you for blogging daily. I don't think I could come up with something this wonderful as frequently! Maybe you could do every other day? Or find some kind of rhythm that won't mean you'll stop writing altogether (cause you really shouldn't - you have so much wisdom to share!).
