Be the Wind

Every major change of seasons blows in or out with a type of wind. It’s a force of nature we can’t deny, but we can certainly be a part of. We watch as leaves turn beautiful colors at the end of summer/beginning of autumn, as leaves blow away and leave tree limbs naked and snow takes their place, as snow melts and buds grow anew once more, and as buds flourish into stunning arrays of lush green leaves of all shapes and flowers into color beauties painted by God.

You, too, can be a force of nature with your writing. “Paint” your words across the page as the mood or wind strikes or blows. You can be as strong a force with winds up to hurricane strength with your words, or you can be a gentle breeze depending on what it is your are writing. The choice is yours.

Hot Air Balloons and Stories

That moment when you start reading a book and the story lifts you up and carries you away.

Gifted

Having a life where you have everything money can buy or being given life. Which is richer? Which is poorer? Does it depend? If you were given a piece of rough would, for example. It has rough bumps on part of it along with tiny bits poking out in other parts. It’s ugly. Do you toss it aside, or do you make the best of it?

If you have everything and are not grateful, does that make you rich? On the opposite end, if you are poor and have little, are you poor?

Sometimes freeing up space in your mind means cleaning up external clutter.

An Interview

This week I completed an interview with a national magazine. This is one of the photos I used. I enjoy talking about the journey I have been on since I set ‘pen to paper’ writing my first book. It was and still is my dream to write books and tell stories. The road hasn’t been easy though. There were some pot-holes along the way. The key is to stick with it and never ever give up. When the article goes live, I will share the link here on my site.

Obstacles and Stoppers

Obstacles will slow you down until you find a way around it. Stoppers will prevent you from moving forward. If you have a stopper in your way preventing you from achieving your goals, turn it into an obstacle and get around it.

Success and Quitting

If you feel like giving up, don’t. If successes aren’t finding you, wait. They will be along in due time. If something needs to be done, do it. It very well could be that added “ingredient” needed for success. If you quit, you won’t find that “ingredient” because you didn’t do what needed to be done.

There will be bumps and rocks along the way that will try to interrupt your flow. But, if you stay in the game, your situation and all you are trying to achieve will pass right over those rocks and bumps and create a beautiful “picture”.
