Today is the day I begin a new journey in life. As January approached, and the idea of a new year set in, I realized my time is now to change. Change my life in a way that not only makes me a better person, but also in a way to nourish my soul. I decided to begin to write. I have always had a passion for writing; however, life truly never gave me the opportunity to grab hold of this love. I always made excuses or wrapped myself in “career or educational writings” that were “required” writings, but not deep down explorative writings. When I was young, I loved to write short stories, songs, poems, you name it. Anything that came to me, I jotted down. However, as time went on, and I became an adult, things changed. I never seemed to have time to write or I chose my preferred sitting in front of the TV escape. Well, this has now changed….
Back in August, I was laid off from my job. It was a shock when it occurred, but as time crawled by, it gave me a real opportunity to explore myself and see what I really wanted to do in life. The Wolf Moon on the 12th opened my eyes and mind, and then Friday the 13th sealed my decision. “I need to do this”, I said to myself and that was it. It was now real and I was not planning on turning back.
Since that moment I started planning to pursue my love of writing. I have a deep connection to nature so I will be mostly concentrating my writings in this arena. I have never felt more relieved and certain about my decision. It seems as though the stars were aligned and my prayers had been finally answered to shed clarity upon me and make me believe this is the time to change my life. The moment is now and I will embrace and share my experiences with the world…
