In a world that often seems chaotic and overwhelming, the internal journey of self-discovery, healing, and finding connection is more critical than ever. This is where the creation of a regular writing practice can help – where we can process emotions and find clarity in the midst of life’s challenges.
How can we connect with ourselves and others with more depth and honesty? How can we turn past wounds and emotional hurdles into opportunities for growth?
These are questions that poet, educator, and author, Meredith Heller explores in her new book, Writing by Heart: A Poetry Path to Healing and Self-Discovery – published by New World Library.
I’ve invited Meredith to join me on my blog today to talk about the concept of “writing by the heart” – and how creative people can use it as a path for healing and self-discovery.
***********************************************
Tell us about your book Writing by Heart and what inspired you to write it.
Writing by Heart is about tuning into your heart and writing about what’s here, honesty, authentically, and with compassionate curiosity. The book is an invitation into deep self to discover your truth, your voice, your heart. Something magical happens when we put pen to paper– we engage in creative process and we can tap our own wisdom, our own medicine, to heal and free ourselves. This book is about poetic writing as practice of presence, noticing and being true to what’s bubbling up in you, whether it’s sadness, anger, fear, grieving, loss, joy, or beauty, making room for all of it and finding the words to explore and express it. This kind of writing is healing, liberating, empowering, and transformative. It opens the way for new insights to arise.
What does “writing by heart” mean to you?
When we know something by heart, it’s part of us; we know it all the way down to our bones. Writing by heart is about following what you know, your truth, and seeing where it takes you. It’s about trusting yourself and the writing process, and when we do that, the path opens, healing happens, life force returns. (more…)

As a Life Purpose Intuitive, I attract highly-spiritual people who are looking for more meaning in their lives, both personally and professionally. They want to feel more connected by being fully present in each and every moment, receiving the divine messages that are intended to guide them on the next phase of their life’s journey.
I call these divine messages synchronicities – and they can show up anytime, anywhere, and from anyone. They can even come from the angelic realm.

Finding Fulfillment in the Spiritual Age – A collection of 33 stories about purpose, passion, and spiritual fulfillment.
Delighted to be speaking about my contribution in the recently published anthology, Finding Fulfillment in the Spiritual Age.
In this book, I share how my own understanding of life purpose deepened when my mother suddenly passed away in February 2012.
We all have a “life purpose legacy” that we’re living each and every day. But are we aware of it?
Join me as I’m interviewed by the working writer’s coach, Suzanne Lieurance – and take a moment to contemplate your own life purpose legacy.

Life on Purpose – Six Passages to an Inspired Life
If you ever watch the news, you can see global unrest happening all over the world. People are confused, frustrated, unsatisfied, angry about this or that – and looking for ways to bring more meaning into their lives.
There’s a deep yearning for purpose and passion. It’s becoming more important than ever before – that what we seek most is a crystal clarity about life itself. What does it mean? What are we here to be? What are we here to do – for ourselves and others?
The Life on Purpose Institute has been working with people for over 20 years to clarify their life purpose from a different perspective. A life purpose should include ALL of your life, not just your job. It’s more than what you are here to do. It’s about WHO YOU ARE.
Because people often misidentify what their life purpose is, it’s no wonder why many end up in a “mid-life crisis” – where they begin asking deeper questions about themselves and the world around them. They begin to examine life from a place of “being-ness” – not “doing-ness.” After all, we are not human doings. We are human beings.
A life purpose is about knowing who you truly are as a spiritual being and what you came here to this life to be and to experience. Knowing your life purpose gives you a new context for your life – a context of meaning that has the power to shape each and every moment of your life, especially when the circumstances are trying to throw you off course.
Have you ever had a “crisis of meaning” in your life – and you suddenly realize it’s time to do the inner work of clarifying your life purpose?
As a certified Life on Purpose coach, I’m delighted to share a very easy way that you can immerse yourself in a deeper understanding of your own life purpose – all from the comfort of your home.
Please visit the Life on Purpose Institute’s website – where you can read more about the Life on Purpose Virtual Video Coach program. You’ll find it located under the Purposeful Products section after clicking the link for individuals.
Life on Purpose Institute
Through a series of videos and exercises, you’ll be gently guided through a unique process that will connect you to a deeper understanding of your own life purpose.
This is a program that I personally endorse. It’s what helped me clarify my own life purpose – and what catapulted me on my journey as a Life Purpose Intuitive and Creative Possibility Catalyst.
Nothing gives me more pleasure than helping others connect with a life filled with purpose and passion – and exploring creative possibilities!
