Today, I’m reaching back in time and sharing my strongest journaling influences. In my early twenties, I worked full-time in the fitness field as a Personal Trainer, and Fitness Instructor. Eventually I held the position of Personal Training Director, helping to mentor and train up and coming staff and other fitness influencers in that field. I know what it is to be an influencer, and to be influenced, to inspire and be inspired.

This morning I finally sat to work on a poem I wrote for inclusion in a local anthology. As I looked at the piece, I began to change, add, remove, re-read and reconsider my words. I had already done this at least twice if not three times prior, but today, finally, I reworked the opening portion to my satisfaction. After I sent it off, I reread it and found a grammatical error, and a questionable line placement that seemed fine, until another look.

Welcome to the halfway point of our journey through 31 Days of Writing in October. My topic: Writing Redeemed. The title of this series is meaningful yet vague enough to leave lots of wiggle room!
Today I am sharing some thoughts on how I define my relationship with my writing.

Thursday I posed a question here on the blog, and asked you to “ask me anything”. Well, I appreciate those of you who took the time to comment and offer up some good questions for me.
The reason I love questions, is they inspire thinking, and thinking creates opportunity for insights and insights lead to epiphanies, and epiphanies lead to rich journaling and writing moments….and so on and so on.

Yesterday I stated that the best way to celebrate your birthday every day is by giving yourself away. I want to clarify. I’m not talking about selling yourself out, or being taken advantage of in any way- don’t misunderstand.
I am talking about being a willing giver.
We all have something to give, don’t we? Whether time, talent, cash, caring or creativity. None of us is ever truly empty-handed.
Each year as my birthday rolls around, I start to thinking what I would like to have…only to come to the same conclusion, I really need nothing.
