The blank page.

Editor of Writer’s Digest Jessica Strawser wrote:

“It’s said that in life, there are two types of people: those who look at the glass as half empty, and those who see it as half full. But in the writing life, I think it really comes down to how we view the blank page: those of us who find it exciting – full of possibility, hope, even adventure – and those who see it as intimidating – capable of inducing guilt, anxiety, even dread.”

I agree. Just as in life, I am conscious of my right to choose – words – and give it my all when I write. Each moment is presented, then gone.  Each book is read, unfolding an experience, then closed. We are only left with memories of how we felt during each experience, each reading. I want to invoke feelings of inspiration, happiness, hope and love.

Everyday is like a blank page. I love waking up in the morning refreshed as if my internal reset button was pushed. That alone is inspiring and hopeful to me. I am ready to take on the world, and write to my heart’s content. That is happiness and love.

I know my purpose in life is to write, spark creativity and help others – I just have yet to find my medium on how I am going to accomplish it.  I find myself more at peace when I write. Why do you write?

There you are.

Here I am.

Waiting for the jasmine tea leaves to brew into the perfect cup of tea for my morning affair. I simply enjoy this moment of peace. Yes I have Deepak Chopra playing on Pandora Radio – soothing my soul. I have an hour before work. My morning ritual has become a part of me, helping me prepare for the day’s adventures.

Soon my new project will be revealed. I have been dreaming of my life’s purpose lately, and have researched and visioned many different options and lifestyles that I think I could make a part of my life. I’m in search of passion and creativity and hope. Simply sitting behind a desk alone for my work day doesn’t appeal to me. I need engagement and inspiration. I must adventure. Soon. Verry soon.

What is your passion, and how do you keep it alive?
