Live, love, and write...

Tonight I came home from work and did something that I rarely do. I donned my jeans refreshed my makeup and went out for an adult evening.

I treated myself to a lecture. Elizabeth Gilbert, the talented author of Eat, Pray, and Love was speaking. That book was about her transformation after a divorce. She read from an upcoming book about her views on marriage. I enjoyed the event. Her writing style and her subject matter resonates with me. However, more than anything, her personal story speaks to me.

She took a journey of self-discovery and wrote a memoir that captivated women all over the world. I desperately want to write a book. I have a story within me that have yet to be told, several stories in fact.

I would write a novel but my own life fascinates me to the point of distraction.

I have loved. I have lost. I have learned the lessons. I have had the courage to take chances. And I have allowed fear to paralyze me. I realize that I have been feeling, praying, and loving my way to my best life. Someday, I will arrive.

At the end of the day, I hope that I retain a fundamental connection with my soul and that others will be inspired by my story. Stay tuned. This blog will chronicle the journey until the book comes out!
