Hey Guys! It's been a while! Life has been crazy busy and taking time to write... Well... No excuses. I just haven't done it. So why now? Support... Encouragement... Inspiration. There are two people in my life who have been pushing me to get back on track with my writing. My good friend Jen and my boyfriend Steve.
Jen & I have been friends for a couple years now and we have helped each other through some difficult times. She's noted how much of a blessing I have been to her but I'm not sure she realizes how much of a blessing she has also been to me. Jen has supported me, encouraged me, and had my back when I felt like the world was against me. She always seems to have the right words right on time. And, she encourages me to keep putting my voice out there. We all need a friend like Jen!
Steve and I have been dating a while (See blog: A New Adventure). He read my book, twice. He reads my blogs, poetry, and social media posts. And when I quit writing, or at least hit pause for a while, he wants to know what's up and he reminds me of the gift God has given me to encourage and inspire others. Y'all, long distance relationships are hard. But when you have someone who cares about the things that are important to you and takes an active role in pushing you to always be the best version of yourself, it makes the hard stuff a little easier.
As for me, I think it's time to get back to myself and start writing on a more consistent basis. I'm currently working on the second edition of my book, #TheList as well as touching up a few screenplays. And God willing, I will be writing more blogs! Thanks for reading!
