And when it sendsher a message, she's ready to receive it. But at no time did she expect amessage to tell her that she needed to write a book of poems.However, when her father unexpectedly passed awayand a new person came into her life who had a profound influence on her, shewas tuned in for the signs. And she got one."I started getting downloads from a highersource and they were coming to me as poems," she said. "So I juststarted collecting and writing them down."Months later, she found she had a collection thathit on four themes: leaving, grieving, loving, and being. She put them togetherand published the set in her new book The FarUnlit Unknown, which she describes as a take on "non-obviousleadership development."Mary Lou calls her newest book a gift to herselfand an opportunity to move toward her next calling, whatever that may be.Indeed, Mary Lou teaches that resistance or preventing yourself fromgoing after new goals is the enemy of a fulfilled life."At the end of the day you're the only personwho stops you," she said. "It's up to us to say 'yes' to ideas."I was fortunate to meet May Lou through our mutualconnection Tommy Breedlove. She has amazing insights and I'm happy to be ableto share some of them with you in this episode of Chiseled, the podcast for those of us who are still a work in progress.
