Has it really been more than two years since I last wrote on my blog??
Seriously??
Wowzers!!!
Well, okay then. Here is the scoop on the last two years.
Many changes have occurred since I last wrote on this blog and I hardly know where to begin.
But, I guess the main thing is my illness that started a year and a half ago.
I really don't want to go into details, but I would like to review some things that I have learned.
1. Live your DREAM!!! No matter what happens in your life...LIVE YOUR DREAM!!!
2. If you can't live your dream, at that particular time in your life, then PLAN FOR YOUR DREAM. Eat, live, breathe, and dream about your DREAM!!
3. You can have more than one dream. Just make one of them a priority. One for now, and the other for later. Or, pick the one that you are the most passionate about. OR, evaluate both of them and see which one fits your current life status. (I have two, but one of them is currently unattainable due to health reasons.)
4. NO DREAM IS UNACHIEVABLE!!! If you want to climb a mountain, but are afraid of heights, you can teach yourself to overcome that fear. Point being...YOU CAN, AND WILL, CLIMB THAT MOUNTAIN!!!
5. Learn that FEAR is just an emotion, just like happiness is, and emotions can be either crippling or motivating. Just learn that your fear-frown can be turned upside down!!! :)
6. AND THE MOST IMPORTANT LESSON OF ALL IS:
YOU ARE WORTH IT!!
YOU ARE WORTH TAKING A CHANCE ON!!
YOU ARE WORTH ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS!!
Well, I seriously hope my point has been obvious. LOL!!
I have let fear keep me its B**ch for way too long.
I AM going to live my dream. Fear will not win anymore!!
I AM going to write and publish my books. If you don't like them, then don't read them.
I think that non-writers do not understand that writers have stories and characters running through their heads, living in their lives, whispering plots in their ears, and bug the living crap out of them, until they put them on paper and tell their stories.
Hey, the stories may not be great, but that doesn't mean the writer is a bad writer. They just need to listen harder to their characters, and keep writing until they learn how to get their stories out in a better way. Practice makes perfect!! :)
Because, being ill will teach you one thing..., you only have one life to live...so, you had better get busy living it!!! THERE ARE NO JUSTIFIABLE EXCUSES!!! (see previous post)
Hugs,
Denise
