Practice, Practice, Practice

What can I say? Practice is the best medicine for writers? Whether I yearn for rhythmic thumbs syndrome or if the writing bug has bitten me too many times, I have noticed that growing as a writer takes a lot of practice, so much practice that it may drive me crazy. OK, maybe this is not terribly false, because let's face it, it's me we are talking about here. Case in point I am an imperfect, flawed writer, but my compassion for this art delves deep, so deep it rumbles the ground like a subtle earthquake. The secret that I can share with other people who aspire to write their hearts out is to write continuously, always continue on your account. Meanwhile, if you do feel discouraged about your future endeavors as a writer, do not fret because someone tells you that you cannot do it. You can always do more to prove to yourself that you hold value as a writer. Now does this sort of advice help you? Well, I hope so because you have more talent than you perceive of yourself.

The Inevitable -- Original Poem

It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected  It interrupts you, discourages you It was meant to happen It has changed you, your life It has made you live for more Someone or something that was meant for you You yearn to know the reason But it remains unknown, hidden It was meant to happen It confuses you, frustrated you It has angered you, enticed you Made you feel defeated But you never gave up You strived to learn more You remained persistent, never gave up It was meant to happen Someone or something unexpected has occurred to you Don't let it go You will know it soon enough It was the inevitable

Stamping the Pathway: Women Plant Historical Marks

Personal note: Just to start, the topic of Women’s History Month is challenging, to balance the message and relevance of this piece, because of the fact that March has gained recognition as Women’s History Month, dated back in 1978. Throughout the course of history, an abundance of women mobilized during experiences, instances that confronted adversity based upon gender, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic class and other classes within the societal umbrella. Respectively, many compassionate women acted as trailblazers even as many contenders questioned their integrity and intentions. However, it is certain that many women remained persistent and pushed the limits to share awareness. Another personal note: as a plethora of women have declared and acted toward powerful moments of our history, they have transcended above the fray. Personally, I admire women who defend their rights as they strive for a world of equality. From Jane Fonda, Oprah Winfrey, Gloria Steinem, Madeline Alb...

Be You: Know What You Are and Proclaim It

Self-worth : A feeling that you are a good person who deserves to be treated with respect. (Merriam-Webster Dictionary) Some of us may wonder when we will ascertain our purpose , or what thing(s) give(s) us a purpose . It is often a ruminating question that circulates in many minds on a continual basis; whereas, it is something that we have to cope by whenever it happens to us. Often times we think about whether we can feel comfortable enough to feel happy with ourselves and to present it to other people who need it the most. Whenever we can achieve goals of true inner-peace and contentment within ourselves and exude it is when we share it. Do not let other people determine you because you matter as well; you matter so much that many other people want you to, too. Know your worth , your value , your existence , your being ; you’re being is something that takes precedence , regardless of discouragement , adversity or whatnot comes in between you and it. Feel it, be it, realize i...
