Changing Paths

Happy Thursday! I must say I am in a GREAT this evening! Let me tell you, I decided to continue to pursue writing as a professional career! I mean, I have tons of content, a degree in writing and lots of experience. Plus, I miss writing. Having to work a job that does not make you happy in your soul and your heart is depressing. I feel like the jobs that I have been working the last 5 years are for survival. Sure, I’ve learned a lot of great skills that I can take with me in my writing, but when you are not following your purpose things are not aligned in your life. This is how I have been feeling lately If I’m being honest with myself.

Do you see that picture? That is how I’ve been feeling, just dead. Working a job that although I’m grateful for it is not giving me the purpose that I need. I want to go back to the times where I blogged about a writing project that I just finished or so many book ideas that I had or a paid writing gig. When was the last time I said THAT! Purpose brings passion and passion brings happiness and happiness brings income, eventually. I can remember my high school English teacher Ms. Conner may she rest in peace tell me that I was a great writer. She even got the opportunity to edit one of my books! Take a look and if you are interested in the read feel free to grab your copy on amazon. Shameless plug I know.

My point is my English teacher saw the gift before I realized what it was. Then again, I used to write poetry when I just started out in high school and my Dad and grandmother used to always give me notebooks to write in. I remember having a typewriter too! Boy, do I miss that! I may just treat myself to one. Moral of this post today is once you realize what you are gifted with and you would do it for free, stick with that and work with it. I owe my writing career and my craft a huge apology for abandoning you for a while. I am back now and will never cheat on you with life again because you are my life. Can you find it in your words to forgive me? I know that may sound silly, but we must fight for what we want in life in order to really be successful in the craft. Well, here’s to getting back in the game and making it to the finish line which is more content and doing this work for a living. Cheers!
