"writing is the result of living"
living bold,
loving big,
getting hurt
and getting right back up again.
no one knows anything
other than what they’ve experienced.
when I write,
I try to convey
what I’ve learned.
maybe,
I can help myself
and perhaps someone else
in the process.
maybe,
I can connect
deeper to myself
and perhaps to another.
it’s a work in progress,
as
I am a work in progress.
it’s not perfect.
it feels vulnerable.
but,
both of these traits
attract
the right people,
the right projects
and the right results.
writing to live.
living to write.
leaning into life more
to feel more
to see more
and to become more.

As I continue to learn more about myself and the art of writing, I am learning how life feeds art and art feeds life. I am trying to allow them both to be continual works in progress. I am striving to accept me for me and my work for what it is.
There is always a desire to be more, do more and become more.
But, what if this is enough? What if today is enough? What if my work is enough (as it is now)?
I think when I can truthfully say that today is enough…everything will magically be “enough.” This comes down to a decision, not a goal in the far off future.
I hope to enjoy the craft of writing and the beauty of living and continuously pursue how to maximize enjoyment rather than the traditional definition of success.
