Today I am grateful to wake up with the gift of writing.
Today I am writing, weeping my life into a manuscript about my life, my spiritual beliefs, and why its okay for me to wear a guns n roses t-shirt in 2019. (Bite Me, haters)
A long time ago I'd foolishly said i'd never write my own story. I was young and foolish and hadn't appreciated my mother's warning to never say never. Today I do appreciate because I am eating those words and pouring myself into a book about me but for every single woman that struggles with introspection of self and with redefining ones self as an individual.
This will be one of my best works I've ever written, and a success just by writing it, that I can feel proud of. It will also be the launching of me back into the publishing world.
But writing is not my only gift. I have a gift for art and photography as well that I don't wish to neglect. It is my spiritual path that has led me back to writing (with a little push and help from my friend Ty) and through the writing, have realized that I am not a woman divided between life and spirit...that it is okay for my faith and spiritual beliefs to play part in my creative endeavors rather than keeping them separate. This is a major movement for me that takes courage (like wearing a guns n roses t shirt in 2019 and to do it with no make up or hair color) that I mean to embrace. Just like this album, my turning is a leaf that has a mirror that does not lie but also does not make excuses for who I am truly. I am beautiful. I am smart. I am good, I am me.
