Svaha:  the time between seeing lightning and hearing the thunder


What people say

Jon Hansen I will be eternally grateful for your great gift of taking in to the fullest extent what it is that I have to offer, living it, and then reflecting it back in terms of the potential experience of others. You have given words to a process that defies words. And you’re constantly in a position to help me continue to hone that, deeper and deeper and more and more resonantly, who I am and what I offer, which is truly invaluable. — Jon Hansen, The Remembering Room, Richmond, Illinois

Daniel Stone Working together was absolutely key, and I think that’s what made it such a great experience. I felt like you were my partner in this. I felt like my success was your success. To me, someone who has that attitude and the skills to go with it — that’s an unbeatable combination! — Daniel Stone, www.danielstone.com, Washington DC, New York City, Delaware, South Carolina, and India

Bev Dwane I have a website I’m proud of — but for me, the hugest benefit has been increased self-confidence. Because of the process we went through, and the validity that came with the process, I trust what I think and I trust myself to speak about it. I have greater confidence and clarity in my message about who I am and what I do. — Bev Dwane AICI CIP, www.bevdwane.com, Durham, North Carolina

Ariane Goodwin What you’ve sent me is so darn perfect it hurts! It’s a sheer pleasure to work with someone who writes as beautifully as you do — and in “my” voice. — Ariane Goodwin, Ed.D, smARTist® Telesummit, Millers Falls, Massachusetts
Sherry Essig You have a real gift for words. You’re really, really good at it. — Sherry Essig, Flow Dynamix, Raleigh, North Carolina

You’ve built such integrity of message in your company. I know that’s because it springs forth intrinsically, but you stay so focused at your core! I can’t think of a better way to phrase that laser-beam focus you have. It’s funny, because in someone else, laser-beam focus would be intense, but somehow you manage to make it much more kind and easy. — Jessica Albon, Thrive Your Tribe, Winston-Salem, North Carolina
I’ve never worked with anybody in the way that I’ve worked with you in terms of trusting in your abilities to the level that I have. — Catherine Hajnal PhD, Eight Branches Consulting, Vancouver, Canada ... facilitating and nurturing joyful living
You have an uncanny ability to see through what is being said and surface all the “unsaid” issues. Then you quickly give candid feedback and have a tremendous toolbox to help me move forward through your expert guidance of the right tool.

I have worked with many facilitators/coaches/counselors relating to work and personal situations. Your skills are exemplary and moved me faster than I ever expected. — Jennifer Baker, Fishers, Indiana
You bring both a spiritual perspective and some real-world hard-headedness. — Janet Bailey, Mindful Time Management, San Francisco, California
Brava! I wish I could draw a picture of me — you’d see me in a deep bow to you!

I read your newsletter as soon as it hits my in-box and you’re always right on with your advice. I had to let you know that this issue is particularly brilliant.

I will definitely keep this info — and your contact info — in a secure place.

Thanks so much for sharing your insight and wisdom. — Debbie Rodgers, CGA

Writing and Editing

Not everyone is a natural writer.

And even if you do feel confident about your writing, it’s challenging to write about your own work — and very difficult to edit yourself effectively.

Whatever your writing and editing needs may be — I can help.

From books to websites, articles to white papers — if it’s written, I can help

Establishing consistency of voice and overall flow, finding the words that express exactly what you mean, and creating content that establishes strong connections between you and your audience — if it’s written, I can help!

I listen deeply to what you say and what you’ve written. I hear what’s behind your words, and I recognize and honor how you form your thoughts and what your work means to you.

And that means that what I write for you sounds and feels like you to your readers.

You really did tune in to me. I remember our first hour-long interview — it was really more of a conversation than an interview! I was able to go very deep and very far in communicating about myself and who I am and what I do. And you got it — you got it at the content level and at the energetic and spiritual level. That gave me a huge amount of confidence that there was an alignment between what I wanted and what you would do. — Daniel Stone, danielstone.com, Washington DC, New York City, Delaware, South Carolina, and India

Here are some of the writing and editing projects I help my clients with:

Editing:

You tell me what your writing or editing needs are and I’ll tell you how I can help!

If you’re searching for words ...

... let’s talk. Call me at 760.757.7660 or send me an email letting me know a little bit about what you need, and we’ll set a time to get on the phone or Skype and learn more about each other, about your project, and how I might be able to help.

You might be wondering about rates.

I provide fixed-price bids for most writing projects, and it’s not possible for me to set a price when I don’t know the size, scope, and flavor of your project.

Our initial consultation is always without any obligation. And you’ll get value from our conversation even if you choose not to go forward with your project at this time.

As one client said to me recently...

Knowing you could write for me just took the biggest weight off my shoulders. The value is so there for me that I didn’t question it!
