JESSICA MEUSE

A lot of us are holed up in our homes right now -- some by choice, and some because they're literally afraid to go outside.  But some people can't.  Some people have to continue to work because their jobs won't let them be home right now.  Then there are the first responders -- like my brother -- who just have their hands full beyond all reasoning.

In this crazy time, I want to send some information, positivity, and light.  

First things first!  Basic hygiene isn't that difficult, but I know a lot of…

Hey #MuseMafia, 

So it has been quite some time since I last wrote a blog, and I've been contemplating starting it back up just because of the inconsistent post schedule...but I decided to anyway.  I just love writing, and it's a great way to keep everybody updated on...well...everything.

My life was transformed when I finally stopped apologizing for every little thing. 

I hadn't realized how much I said that word.  "Sorry."  I've been in a few battering, abusive relationships, both mental/emotional and physical abuse, and it's actually AMAZING how often I apologized - not only for the things I didn't exactly do right - but for every single tiny, insignificant thing.  Oh, I don't talk enough.  "I'm Sorry."  I forgot to wipe the counters down...forgot to turn the light off...I didn't read…

Writer's block is that helpless, hopeless, slow-death feeling of not knowing what to create when you're in the setting and mode to create.  It's when the divine flow of creative energy just shuts off, like a kink in a hose, and the ideas just won't flow.  You're blocked.  There's something obstructing the way, and the creator cannot create. 

I have experienced writer's block SO many times, and through my experiences, I've learned (and it may be different for others) that it's triggered by:
