Hello!
It's good to be back here, and now, hopefully, I'm back for good. At least, today marks day one for me in this new quest. I hope to blog everyday. Not that it'll get in my way, it never does, Its just the hesitation from unsureness that used to hold me back. No more! I listened to Mena Trott’s talk not long ago. I was inspired. As I listened to her speak about blogging, my blog came to mind. I don’t know if you guys have noticed, but from my first entry till date, there’s been a consistent progression.
I created more than dreams as a means of reaching out to everyone. Like extending a hand of friendship, sending a hug, sending a smile someone’s way. I wanted to share with you my discoveries in this my bid to live. Moments, lessons, experiences, I wanted to share it all. And, today, I still do. But now, there’s so much more.
All my long pauses, irregular postings etc, were all due to a desire to write for a cause I could define. A direction, a central theme, a ……..well, a something! Then, every new post felt like a zigzag progression. Like a ping pong ball bouncing back forth and nowhere . There was plenty to write, and therein lay the difficulty. Trying to decide which to share. Trying to gauge how much of myself to release. However, today, I am much surer, clearer, and focused than my first day on.
Listening to Mena , I realized: I am a real life girl, and that, my friend , is no crime. No crime at all! It’s ok that I have questions, that I don’t get it all. It’s ok that I’m still learning. It’s ok that while climbing the ladder up, I trip and have to go again. And, it’s ok to be me, the way I am today. This amazing , interesting, intelligent, creative and talented young lady is ok and on her way. I am not static, I’m dynamic. This was not the way I was yesterday, and this is definitely not the way I’ll be tomorrow. I’m moving. I keep pressing on till I fulfill purpose, till I rise up to destiny’s call.
So I’ve decided to share with you the core of what goes on, the beauty I encounter and the things I learn as I live on. and…….I will be real. As I am, no more no less. I’ve decided to put in all of me in this, and trust everything to God. It’s just my way, you know; all or nothing. I only hope and pray that these words you read here, in more than dreams, will never leave you the same. I pray they inspire faith, minister peace, bring light and understanding your way. May you always have a smile on when you leave. Amen.
