Why I Decided to Blog

Great Post!

Relax, It's all Write

I have written from as far back as I can remember; from poems and stories, to spilling my guts in private journals. Does that make me a writer? HECK YES IT DOES!!

TO BE A WRITER IS TO WRITE, PERIOD.

THE CREATIVE HIGH

I have been enthralled with writing since I was young. I accumulated notebooks galore. Nothing like a fresh notebook. Oh, the possibilities… The worlds I can create, the unique characters. I would jitter in excitement with every virgin page I cracked.

Early on I decided, “One day, I WILL be a published author.” But, it wasn’t until adulthood…meaning, twenty-three-years old…that I started taking it seriously.

I began a novel; a young adult fantasy. Toiled day and night, wrote my fingers raw. My hand moved so fast, it could barely keep up with the ideas pouring out my brain. My fingers cramped, but I…

On this warm October morning after hardly any sleep feelings emotions and the past have caught up to me! This crazy train we call life has been spinning me since 2008 I need to derail this train and stop the ride! Honesty and sincerity and love will prevail …in life we can say whats in our hearts we can express regrets and apologize for wrongs ..we also need to have the strength to do all of the above! My heart has hurt long enough its time to let it speak clearly! God will lead the way out of the dark and into the light…the dark of my past is behind me those whom truly love me will be there when I fall when I cry and when I am happy! Its in God’s hands my destiny ❤

Reflection

Can you reflect upon your life

Without judgment?

From a higher perspective

With compassion?

Can you focus on the love

You shared

Rather than the goals you achieved?

Dear One, this is a time for you to reflect upon your life. But can you do so without that self-judgment which is so often present within you.

Are you able to take a step back and reflect from a perspective of love shared? Can you give gratitude for all that you have rather than focus on that which you lack? For there is more abundance than you see.

All through your life you have had choices. You made them to the best of your ability for who you were, where you were then on your path to awakening.

And each choice made was the correct one for you at that time. If you look back and see mistakes, also see…

 My great love..

 I told the young writer, we shall have many great loves. Many women will steal our heart, make us want everything and more. But there are those maidens, who can awake us from the slumber of a dead sleep. I do remember a Spring flower in 1978, in the month of late May. Long blond hair, dancing blue eyes and a face of a angel. I fell into treason in all things I loved to be near her. She was my illusion of perfection. She found me alone by the small lake, we talked, held hands and I fell into the majesty of her.

We were shrouded with youth and we were crazy fearless. Wanting everything and more. I loved her eyes when she spoke. I could see the ancient cities, the sea and open sky in her eyes. I remember she took me to her home, we…
