You are a writer.........This is what my friend kept telling me that night at the women's event......because I kept being saying that the other women speakers there were more accomplished in a certain way than I, and she kept encouraging me and saying the things I had done and then saying "you are a writer".....and I guess now I am......I have loved writing for as long as I can remember, as much as I have always loved reading.....have loved words, their meanings, the power they hold in our lives.....have always chosen them carefully, never careless with them.....but always able to wield them when I have wanted to.....to express myself and how I was feeling.......I kept a diary when I was young......writing my feelings down......and never minded writing in school....and in college my favorite classes were my writing ones......so I suppose it makes sense that I would find myself here......writing daily, which has truly changed my life......and working toward publishing a book......or maybe a few:) depends on how the journey unfolds.....it is always so interesting to me the things we are blessed with in this life and how they help us along the way......I see the people around me with their "gifts" and how they use them, and it makes all the difference in their lives......and that is how I feel about being able to write and articulate my feelings, my ideas, my thoughts, in written and spoken word......it is not a gift lost on me.....and the way ideas formulate in my mind and lay out is also something I am grateful for, I feel it all comes from the same place......my blog content will need to evolve and expand I feel......continuing on my journey, but also maybe evolving into some memoir type entries? I had some interesting travels pre this past year, things I always thought I would write about and didn't......yet......so perhaps it will move in that direction too.....I follow the lead in my heart each morning and sit down and see what comes out......I am so grateful for the people who read each day......caring about my blog post and looking to read it when they get up......such a cool thing to my inner nerdy writer girl....:) The cool thing too is that writing goes hand in hand with life coaching....there are many ways I can utilize that skill as I continue on that path......writing articles, e-books, courses, books, etc......so the new path I have started is one that I feel I will be one that suits what gifts I have been given in this life.......and communication I suppose goes hand in hand with writing and all the rest.....what an important thing to be able to do.....I definitely over communicate, often:) But I feel it helps avoid miscommunication, however sometimes that is still unavoidable......that saying about somebody hearing you speak a thousand words and still not understanding, while others get you right away is so true......and being good at communication doesn't solve that........So I am working on owning my new role in this life.....being a writer! Taking my passion for writing into the world and seeing where it leads......and to all of you that have read all along, every single day, and to those that pop in from time to time, thank you from the bottom of my heart! It is appreciated more than you know:)
