I recently had a reading with Vanessa Codorniu (shoutout here). I cut back on my own personal readings for a couple reasons. #1 – I can do it myself (or so I thought) and #2 – rarely are they true and #3 I’m poor, they cost money! But there are different kinds of readings. The ones that don’t come true are the “fortune tellers” – Not to say nothing comes true, but all the men I should have met in the last 10 years compared to all the men I have met…well, let’s just say I’m still waiting (but also not waiting). Vanessa ended up spending a lot of time sharing that I need to be putting myself out there in the world offering readings and advertising my new book. I don’t know that I would have “read” that for myself because putting myself out there is something that, well, is just not me. I’m a “background” girl. I’m your meeting planner, your event organizer, your assistant. I’m not the speaker or the main event. I am most comfortable not being noticed. That is not to say I am not confident in my abilities. I think my readings are typically met with enthusiasm and gratefulness. I believe in them, I do. My new book, Back to Being; a Conversation With My Higher Self – I believe in 1000%. I do. But I am not the star of either of these things. I am the assistant. When I do a reading I am channeling information. It’s not “my” advice, so why would I promote “me”? The book, Back to Being, well that is all channeled material. As a matter of fact, I am publishing under the name of Lynn Carol. I’ve reasoned that a book like Finally Florida is a book by Lynn Monahan. A book that I’ve channeled is transcribed material so I’m going to use the name Lynn Carol. It makes sense to me. Obviously, to me anyway, I would not have been “graced” with the capability of being able to do this thing that I do if I was just supposed to keep the information for myself. What would be the point? I am happy to be a communicator, a writer, sharing information. But I am not a promoter, a marketing person or the face of anything.
However, in the interest of trying this advice, and also getting the new book, Back to Being out there, I’m going to attempt to at least update the Website so first of all you can subscribe and then I’m going to attempt to be active! How about that idea?
So, about that book. After reading Lesley M. Kaye’s book, Diary of a Scribe to the Universe, I felt called, as suggested in Kaye’s book, to accept the challenge to also be a “scribe” to the Universe. What this means is I sat down with my pen and paper, wrote a question and then waited for the answer. And I really did get interesting answers! I originally made a deal with myself to keep it to around 50,000 words and true to myself, at least this time, I ended around 50,000 words. Although all writers, everywhere in the world, hope to be hounded by agents and/or publishers, the reality is you are pretty much on your own. I have no following, yet. I’m not an influencer, yet. I don’t have a platform of 1 million followers, yet. But, I wrote this book and I feel obligated to at least get it out there. So, in the next few months I will be working on self publishing it on Amazon. In the meantime I’ll start posting some of the questions and answers on this blog site to give a preview of what is in the book.
I’m listening Vanessa and I’m getting started, again. At least I found out how to post the “subscribe to” button. It only took me 4 hours.
But now I’m tired. Figuring this stuff out is exhausting. Stay tuned (that’s what the subscribe to option is for)
xoxoxo
PS – Vanessa said I should put my picture out into the world. So because I don’t have another idea for a featured image, here is a photo of me.
