Week three - the journey within.
Hi there friend,
Here we are, in our third week, half way through our work, and things are about to get real. This second half of the course is a little heavier in work than the first half, but I have a feeling you are fully ready and prepared for that. Let’s take a look at our work for this week.
You're going to share your story.
We're going to get to the core of 'Why and for Who.'
And you will be writing a website manifest.
...but first were going to find the ten keywords to your soul language.
Let’s find out what sets your soul on fire.
Is writing second nature to you? Or is it a challenge to get those beautiful words out of your head on onto your (digital) paper?
Either way, working with keywords can be a very helpful tool! You can use your keywords to create a consistency in your brand, you can use them as a framework for your writing or you can use them as part of your brand, like I did with Nature, Balance and Love.
We are going to find your soul language. Let's explore what words speak to you, we are looking for words that give you an instant spark when you use them. I'm going to give you a bunch of words to choose from - but please don't let this hold you back from finding your own words - read them, out loud or in your head. Feel into these words and see which words resonate and give you the feeling that you are looking for.
Before you submit your ten sacred keywords, write them down. You might need them again when you are writing your website manifest later in this module!

Sharing your story.
I believe that when you create and share from an authentic place, you can do, be and create everything you dream of.
With all the social media channels that are available to us today, it has become very easy to share snapshots and stories from our life. Most of us share our thoughts and feelings multiple times a day. Our posts are seen by family, our community, and our friends. But also by something that is still relatively new, a person who you don’t know but is interested in what you write or create, a follower. It's pretty amazing that we have so many possibilities to share and connect to people all over the world.
But keep it real. Write from the heart. Create from the soul.
Share your journey, all of it. Share your challenges as well as your accomplishments. Share the good and the bad, as long as it is real. Be honest but always try to come from a place of kindness. People are getting more and more intuitive when it comes to who they interact with online, and they choose who they work with or buy from based on how the brand and the person behind it feels to them. They are looking for a connection and want to get to know you.....so share your story.
Writing your website manifest.
Writing your website manifest is a very important part of creating a website as this will be the first thing your visitors will read. So write this with your audience in mind and preferable write towards them. How is this different from the content you wrote for the your story practice? Your manifest will be starring on your front page, it's the first thing that your visitors will see, so use your power words and infuse this message with your energy. Ideally this manifest contains the answers to the why's , the who's, the feelings, the thoughts, the dreams, the goals, the future, the past, the purpose, the heart and the soul.
I invite you to spend some time on this and really tune into your inner self.
Remember: "Write from the heart. Create from the soul."
If you need a little boost to start up the creativity, use your 10 sacred keywords from the Soul Language practice and create a manifest around those words.
Take a deep breath, you did it!
Congratulations on writing content for your main page. That feels good right?! We will meet again next Monday, in this fourth week of our journey we are going to officially register your domain on squarespace. To finish up this week please send in your work with the form below.
