Just write. Empty my brain, pour out my heart and put my voice on paper!? Just write. Feels like cliff diving! Just write. I have been on the launch pad so long, not sure how to take off without exploding!
So, here I am, in the zero-dark-hundred hours that I find so peaceful and inspirational…….beginning to let my voice and heart go on this blank page of a blog that has been patiently waiting since my last attempt at beginning.
“Write, for these words are true and faithful” This is my inspiration and my guidepost. I have such respect for the written word. Sometimes the knowledge that the pages live beyond the mortality of the writer overwhelm me. I am not sure I want my words to live that long. What if I change my mind or discover I was wrong? Do I really want my shortcomings and failed attempts recorded for my future grandkids to read? (deep sigh & shaking head)
So, this morning, I begin to let my voice flow in truth. I promise to jump over the hurdles and continue in my journey of authentically “page speaking” by putting my voice on paper.
Today’s truth for me: Just write.
Glad you finally jumped! Excited to read what’s coming.
Thanks for the encouragement:-) Jumping is perfect way see if my wings work!
Glad you finally jumped! Excited to see what’s coming.
It is wonderful to read that you are drawing from the well spring of your truth. Looking forward to reading the contents of your bucket. Proverbs 18:4: “The words from a person’s mouth are deep waters, a bubbling stream, a fountain of wisdom.” dmr
Wonderful words of wisdom and inspiration! Thank you Dorothy – deep waters here I come!:-)
Glad you finally took the plunge … can`t wait to read your words of wisdom!
Thank you Aimee! my definition of wisdom: knowing what to do with the knowledge you have! Promise to share the how, what and why of any wisdom I have gleaned from my life choices – just hope folks are gentle with their opinions & comments, since we all know I have made some hum-dinger decisions in my day!!!!
Hi Debi – I have always considered two ‘mandatory’ elements of blogging…Having something worthwhile to say, and interested people to read it. I have no doubt that both will apply to your blog. God bless and inspire your thoughts and words!
Thank you Dee! I feel like I am bursting with words to share and hope this blog will edify and fortify the reader! xo
Go for it Deb! You have much to offer this world of mediocrity. let your light shine brightly!
Thanks Jules – means so much coming from you:-) Now if I focus that light like a laser instead of a spinning spotlight I will be happy!
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
Benjamin Franklin .
Sounds like you got them both covered. Best of luck.
Thanks Mary:-) I love Franklin’s practical wisdom and will do my best to write & do what is worthwhile.
Oh boy do I know the feeling of starting something like a blog and worrying about leaving it an unfinished mark for all to see! And boy have I done that too – lol. I look forward to reading your stuff and hope you pace yourself well so you don’t burn out 🙂
Ah Rachel….my fellow wordsmith and adventure seeker! Still learning about the “pace yourself” part of living – meanwhile, I promise to be authentically brilliant without burn out!
Wonderful Deb!….there is always a great sense of inner peace when you do what you love.
Thank you Sue, that means so much coming from a person who uses their artistic talents for positive impact. I love Dude!:-) Inner peace can be elusive for me when I do not focus on where my strength comes from – so that will be a #1 priority as I endeavor to “page speak” on this blog:-)
Reading through the comments I realized that everything I wanted to say to you has been said already! But I don’t care…I’ll say it anyway….so glad you put the pen to the paper (or in this case the hands to the keyboard!) You’ll rock this for sure…love you Deb.
Thanks Nancy! You are my cheerleader and I will do my best:-)
Nice, Deb… a lot of people are going to find out that when you step out and do things afraid that it’s a good thing! looking forward to more!!
Thanks Sue:-) You are so right! Stepping out of the boat doesn’t always mean we will walk on water – but we can always swim!
