Day Thirty-Five of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Safety First

DAY 35 I didn’t make much time to focus on my writings today. However, I wasn’t about to call it a night without getting something on paper. A slew of random phrases later and I asked myself a question to which I do not know the answer: Do I fear failure, success, or a littleContinue reading “Day Thirty-Five of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Safety First”

Day Thirty-Four of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY 34: Motivational Monday poem – Ancestral Seeds I often think of seeds planted Long before my body and spirit met The men and women who choices Defined not only their lives But fertilized the ground from which I stemmed I imagine the place they once called home And the steps they took to findContinue reading “Day Thirty-Four of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

Day Thirty-Three of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey: Super Girls

DAY 33: Sunday SoulJourn – Super Girls  I wholly believe that spirits recognize their kin.

Day Twenty-Six of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

Sidenote: I still don’t like conflict.  Anyway, writing my thoughts and feelings in a journal became my healthy outlet for what eventually morphed into depression. I’ve overcome many struggles so far,Continue reading “Day Twenty-Six of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey”

Day Twenty-Five of the 111 Day Writer’s Journey

DAY 25: On the Page I am a writer who has no interest in electronic books. I fight the ultimate shift to a digital age with every fiber of my being.
