Hi again....
Thank you so much to all of you who have taken the time to read my posts..and many times, to share your impressions in your amazing, thought provoking, and often hilarious comments. To those of you I know, and those of you who I'm meeting for the first time on my site...your interest, and caring, touch me more than you can imagine.
I had talked about doing a website/blog for more than a few years. But as I'm not technically oriented, the process of setting it up seemed daunting...even when one of my friends said that she could picture me writing a blog, and loving it. So I put it off, put it off, put it off...until finally...enough was enough. And when I pushed past my fear, and set this up?
I found out that my friend was right; and I actually love blogging. Because:
1) I genuinely feel that we all have a mission...something that we are meant to accomplish, or to help further, while we're on this Earth. It is more than my belief...it is my conviction...that my mission is to help take the hard edge off of life through sharing and helping to further the arts with my words, both personally, and as a writer. I don't even pretend to be perfect. (And finally gave up trying to be years ago.) But I will never stop trying to make a difference through, and for, the arts. And will never stop seeking to be the voice that I was searching for growing up. So I can help others to believe in their differences, and their dreams.
2) I'm a writer, but never thought of myself as a storyteller, until several people described me that way. I have to say that I love their description because I always want to write to you, not for you. So as much as I crave, and adore, the process of going inside my soul and excavating to bring out what I genuinely feel, think, and see...a writer cannot write in a vacuum. Thank you for cheering me on...and joining me...on my journey.
