When you write yourself back to where you are

The ground is always moving. Stay grounded in who you are. Remembering who I am is sometimes a task. I’m not so good sometimes at receiving my gifts.

I stumbled upon an article I wrote years ago describing who I wanted to be in life—my career, to be exact—but really was asked to describe my identity in the world. I’m amazed to recognize that today I’m doing just what I described. It was eleven years ago.

I felt misunderstood back then. It’s a continual process to gain confidence in my natural talents, as if I need to reign over them.

What I didn’t know I’d want to know now

I’m enchanted by myself. I just reread my blog posts from many years ago when my three offspring were teenagers. Some of the posts I deleted. Others I will savor for years to come.

Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part ten

Your tapestry speaks of histories, of memories, and of dreams once lived yet maybe not. You are a heart that I have won. Even my nervous and tender sentences do not put a dent in your undying craze over me.

Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part eight

I surrender now to you. To you, and to the powers that be that will make my dreams come true in a second once I let go. To you I speak…

Behind the eyes of a writer™: A series, part seven

Walk through the vestibule: Sounds and sights as benchmarks
