Back to writing

Your writing voice is the deepest possible reflection of who you are. The job of your voice is not to seduce or flatter or make well-shaped sentences. In your voice, your readers should be able to hear the contents of your mind, your heart, your soul.
 – Meg Rosoff, Novelist, Author of How I Live Now


I used to blog.  My Facebook page is an extremely shortened method of how I used to blog, but even that is sometimes censored due to language or because of what I really need to say. 

The past 8 months of my life have been a whirlwind of change.  Some was forced, some was done by choice, but it was needed.  I opened myself up to new experiences, new people, new truths and new opportunities.  I opened up to the possibilities too:  opened myself to possibilities in letting myself shine and be revealed to others.  As someone said to me: "You've been hiding this light for so long that you are so shiny that you sparkle like glitter"  
Yes, I see pictures of me and there's a light in my eyes that hasn't been there in a long time.  I've had many wonderful people in my life that have helped me get here too.  They know who they are.  I love them dearly.  Some have always been there, some have remained and some have gone and some exited out the back door.  But all have made impressions that have gotten me to this place.  This great wonderful place that I like being.  
These months have been been the building to this point where I can't keep my voice quiet any more.  I'm at a point where I feel that I have landed in a very comfortable positive  place and I'm ready to explore and create and grow.  
I will preface... I will not censor.  I will speak my truth.  I will say what is on my mind and in my heart.  I am welcome for conversation and debate and a private conversation if so needed.  If you don't like what is said... don't read it. Simple as that.  Stop reading, because I don't intend to stop speaking 
This is my place for my voice.

  1. As the saying goes, you've come a long way baby! Time to sing out, let the world know what's going on in that mind of yours. I'm glad you have an outlet for it, and I'm glad I can be a miniscule part of it by reading what you write. :)
