That Other Girl....

“The role of a writer is not to say what we can all say, but what we are unable to say.”  -Anaïs Nin

4:35 AM and I cannot sleep a moment longer, not today..... 

Like a kid on Christmas morning, I bolt out of bed fresh,renewed and prepared for the excitement that lies ahead.

31 Slices of Life, reading, sharing, commenting.........but is only the beginning.

You see, this year, I'm adding a personal challenge; a promise to myself. Without compromise, I will step up and out of my comfort zone; I will share, without fear, the kind of writing that defines the person I am.

THIS will be daunting, and somewhere between the third and fourth weeks of March, will undoubtedly take its toll.

So, to my friends and fellow writers, I ask in advance for your help.

1.Please forgive me.....

when the edgy, irritable, randomly scribbling, incessantly whining,  irreversible writer's block inflicted, "never doing this again"....version of me begins to appear......

2. Direct her back to this post.

This is what the "real me" has to say. " I love to write, I choose to write, I want to write,  I need to write. I'm honored to a part of this warm, nurturing, highly respected writers' community. The Annual SOL Challenge is a gift I give to myself".....

As far as that other girl you're about to meet, well......She just needs to get a grip. :-)

Happy Slicing friends!! I am  genuinely delighted to be here.



  

It's Tuesday.....

Tuesday......

Thoughtfully, I inhale scent of fresh lemon and sip at my tea....

Understanding my need to continue, I reach for my writers notebook.  My words flow

Easily, without inhibition, I write, knowing that my

Sharing will come naturally, without concern.....I'm in the groove.

Driven by a replenished desire, I do it!  I write, and I read 

And I remember, that this is where I belong, and hope that I'll find

You will be here too.....it's Tuesday! 

It's been a slice

Until next year my fabulous friends.....

It's been a slice,...:-) 

Perpetual Chaos

It's an inherent thing.... smoldering just beneath the surface
It can't be described nor can it be curbed.
When just erupts, it's ferocity is intimidates all that lies it its path.

Afflicted souls, despise it's power. Clinging  Yet, it's very presence gives them life. Its energy, a driving force, compels them to do most everything they do.

Those who love them continually find ways to tolerate, forgive, and excuse the behavior caused by this perpetual chaos, while constantly seeking to understand.
Others...sharing a common demon, revile them for their ways, denounce and cast blame.
Trapped in collective paranoia, they fear not only each other, but the wretchedness they see in themselves.

BUT ALL IS NOT HOPELESS!!

Eventually, they will know....understand, comprehend.
They will seek to evolve, .....to find the next level....to find the light

but that is best left for another blog......

(Thank you for teaching me.....for "seeing" me.....thank you for the gift....)

Nothing lasts forever so we have to make THIS THE BEST DAY OF OUR LIFE!! DO IT! Don't hold on to the old pain, and for God's sake, definitely, don't fear the future, nor dwell on it- for- we have only now- make it a beautiful memory for someone- everyone- whether we are here to remember or not!

It is through the arts our souls live on forever, through  authors, poets, artists and musicians, we're able to access precious pieces of ourselves....~ME~

Friendship

Tonight I indulged in the gift of friendship.......

Moments shared, memories created, bonds irrevocably weaved into the fabric of our being....

Tonight we applauded successes, encouraged dreams, and took a stroll or two down Memory Lane. 

Listening, sharing, we collected pearls of wisdom like seashells in the sand, each of us a little richer for the experience. 

It' s been said, we attract people into our lives whose character mirrors our own. Tonight, as I reflect on my amazing circle of friends, I can only hope this is true.
