A Day In The Life...

     I've been writing, creatively, since middle school. Over the last 30 years or so, I've used writing as an escape. As a young girl, my mother bought me a diary. Recently, I read though entries from grade school, up until my last entry...last year. Boy oh boy! And that's just what the last entry was about...a boy! Lol. Thank God for giving me the good sense to document those events and memories. I never would have been able to recall all that emotion. I've always had a lot to say, and so writing was not a hard task. It has allowed me to express the person that is inside...this loud person, with a shy voice. While in high school, I wanted to pursue many different aspects of life. I never could narrow it down...maybe that's why my parents never really encouraged me to take a certain path, or were able to direct me toward a specific 'area of study'. I've had so many interests ranging from pattern making (sewing), to acting, to interior design, to radio, to photography, to sports, to film making, to writing screenplays, to writing a sitcom, to drawing floor plans (drafting), to writing songs, piano, violin, to blah blah blah and on and on and on. And this is where I ended up? Am i here right now, because I didn't pursue a specific interest? Am I here because I wasn't ambitious enough? Am I here because this was God's will? I WILL say that for whatever reason, I am at this moment in life, it is my hope that from this point on, my existence on this earth will be a true representation of what God wants me to be. I desire to be more loving, giving, caring, thoughtful, prayerful, helpful, sensitive, and kind. There is so much work to be done in the community. I must first start at home (literally), before I will ever be able to do anyone else a bit of good. One of the most recent creative ways that I express myself is through "play writing". My mind wonders 24/7. I get ideas, and I write it down. I am constantly coming up with a project, or a small idea. Maybe one day, I will get a clearer picture of the direction my life is to go, and what really needs to be shared. I love to share. While some of what I share benefits no one, God has put it on my heart to inspire and uplift. Right now, although I am happy, I am not content. There is this feeling that something is moving. I guess we shall see, but something IS moving. Love
