I didn’t really realize it until this week. I just thought it had become really difficult because of time constraints and lack of focus. But it turns out that I’d lost my mojo.

No, not like Austin Powers lost his. Of course, I’m talking about blogging mojo.

For quite a few months, I’ve struggled with what to write here. And even more so, with wanting to write here at all. I had zero inspiration. No creativity. Nothing sounded funny.

Then came this week. I was searching for inspiration, as usual. And unlike this past fall, I wasn’t taking no for an answer. But it was looking pretty bleak; no ideas were coming to me. So as a distraction, I decided to reread some of my old posts.

Here’s when something weird happened: I read 5-6 of them, and something changed inside. Maybe it was just renewed confidence. (Hey! Maybe I CAN be funny!) But I don’t think so. It feels like something more fundamental. Almost spiritual. I suddenly had something I just HAD to tell you about. And writing it down was relatively easy. (It was the candy hearts post.)

I have no problem giving God credit when he moves me spiritually, but this wasn’t exactly that. I think God does deserve the credit for getting me to read old posts. But the shift inside of me was more like an internal door unlocking for the first time in quite awhile. Reading old posts is what did it. Apparently my creative side, my mojo, has been tucked away in a little box in my brain for quite awhile.

My logical, practical side has been in control; and frankly, she’s a party pooper. I set my creative side free this week, and she has loads to tell you about. Now I just need to remember to let her stay out and play.

Have you ever let your logical side squelch your creativity? Were you able to let the creative side out? How did you do it?
