Seasons Come and Go

November 25, 2020November 25, 2020 Anne Brock

I know, it has been awhile. Seasons come and go, you know. I last wrote a blog post on September 8. Here I am on November 25. Since starting this blog in 2016, I don’t think I’ve ever taken such a long break. But, the last post was called Press Pause, so… Last week I… Continue reading Seasons Come and Go

My Journal

July 10, 2020July 9, 2020 Anne Brock

Another milestone is upon me… my journal only has a few pages left. In fact, I think it will be complete after my writing group call tomorrow.  The beginning of my journal I remember where I was when I opened this journal — Houston, TX in the fall of 2018 for a conference. I was… Continue reading My Journal

Daily Notes

May 22, 2020May 22, 2020 Anne Brock

It was kind of a whim. I figured I’d send a few notes by snail mail while I was home. I said I’d continue doing this each day while we were asked to stay home. I didn’t expect to be here two months later still writing daily notes. I didn’t think I’d still be home… Continue reading Daily Notes

Only One Step

February 21, 2020February 20, 2020 Anne Brock

I’m trying to figure out why running another half-marathon in six weeks feels easier than working on my book. Why am I willing to put on my running shoes and go outside for a run, but picking up the edits to my chapters paralyzes me?  For a week now I’ve been trying to answer all… Continue reading Only One Step

Permission to Be

January 17, 2020January 16, 2020 Anne Brock

It’s hard for me to take a break. It’s hard to set things down. However, I realize it’s time to give myself permission to be. Permission to Be Present I need permission to be present. Social media has been a huge gift to me, especially over the last year. I’ve met some amazing infertility warriors,… Continue reading Permission to Be

Scattered and Jumbled

September 20, 2019September 18, 2019 Anne Brock

It’s been a hard week. I’ve had to follow my own advice. I let myself feel what I needed to feel. I tried not to berate myself for realizing that something was harder than I thought it would be. I’m tired — mostly emotionally. On top of that cramps and a period. Can I start… Continue reading Scattered and Jumbled

I Think I Am Nesting

September 6, 2019September 5, 2019 Anne Brock

I think I am nesting. I agree, it feels strange to me too.  No, I’m not pregnant. No, I’m not adopting. No, I don’t have a surrogate. There is no plan of a baby coming to live at our house. But, I think I am nesting. It’s been going on for a few weeks, months… Continue reading I Think I Am Nesting

Say No to Say Yes

August 30, 2019August 30, 2019 Anne Brock

Twice in the last week I’ve decided to say no to say yes. To make room for something new and beautiful, I have to set some things aside — maybe temporarily, maybe forever.  I’m not a car person. I was perfectly happy with my 2005 Oldsmobile Alero. I picked that car because it showed the… Continue reading Say No to Say Yes

I’m Scared to Write a Book

August 23, 2019August 21, 2019 Anne Brock

I'll just jump right in a say it: I'm scared to write a book. But, let me back up and give you some context. I started working on my book in May using a three prong approach: voice, audience and book. I’ve explored my voice: what do I have to contribute, how is my contribution… Continue reading I’m Scared to Write a Book

A Turtle in the Storm

July 19, 2019December 11, 2019 Anne Brock

I jumped into this book writing process with both feet once I finally made the decision to go for it. I started posting regularly on Instagram. I began creating an editorial calendar around the content I shared. I got some help to update my website and create a logo. I was doing it all non-stop. … Continue reading A Turtle in the Storm
