Free

I’ve never really been one for resolutions but I have recently been intrigued by the practice of choosing a word for the year. Technically I chose my word (and this necklace from Fashion & Compassion) while attending She Speaks 2019 but I’ve decided to ride with it into the new year.

What does Free mean to me? Free from perfectionism. Free from unrealistic expectations. Free from opinions that don’t matter. Free to say No. Free to try. Free to fail. Free to learn and try again. Free to walk in the fullness of exactly who God created me to be.

And speaking of free, if you’re a writer looking for exposure and opportunity to hone your craft there are a few writing contests with free entry. Check out this list of contests (free and otherwise) from Tethered by Letters.

Here’s to 2020…Write on friends!

It’s a Wrap!

“Yet God has made everything beautiful for its own time…” Eccl. 3:11

And so it has begun…the year in review, recaps and reflections. Looking to the new year with anticipation, resolutions and goals. Tis the season for marketers to bank on our regrets and mirror our motivations. We hope and pray 2020 will usher in a better version of ourselves.

Here’s to grand plans and taking small steps. Here’s to big wins and lessons learned. Here’s to peace and unity, confrontation and truth. Here’s to open doors and closed ones too. Here’s to making the most of every moment and in the words of that Cristy Lane country classic…taking it “One day at a time sweet Jesus!”

Happy New Year friends!

Life is busy. Heads down, noses to the grindstone, we’re marching through the day. And sometimes we forget to simply…Look Up.

Find beauty and inspiration in the details.

Perspective…

I write because I have a passion for the written word. I have a brain overflowing with stories and ideas that must be recorded and shared. I exercise my pen and my keyboard for my freedom. The flow of my words therapeutic, a divine intervention. Published or unpublished, hundreds of readers or just one; my gift is not diminished, my call no less important.

Why do you write? Re-evaluate. Refocus. And let’s write on, friends!
