First things first, I sincerely apologize to my followers/readers/supporters because I haven't blogged in soooo long...since 2009 to be exact. And for that, I certainly 'smh' at myself, no excuses. Procrastination is definitely not a friend to anyone unwilling to accept the offer.
For some reason I am in a mood to just vent. It's "one of those Mondays"...I woke up feeling 'blah' about everything that came to mind. Life, bills, goals, worries, fears, responsibilities, and a load of other issues/concerns. I've been in a reflective mood for the past few weeks. Most people may say that's to be expected because we're still at the beginning of a new year, however, being in a reflective state isn't unusual for me or attributed to a specific time of year. So much has taken place in my life since my last blog. I'm almost overwhelmed just thinking about it. I recognized that my desire to write was slowly fading. Life had began to throw so many curve balls I grew weary of finding ways to either cope or take an alternative route. So, my most urgent desire to write gradually left with my confidence and seemingly my smile. I've lost some things in the past few years, but I've gained a lot as well (both tangible & intangible). I am expecting 2011 to be such an exceptional year. And I plan to contribute to that expectation every step of the way.
I admit that I've allowed entirely too much time to go by operating in fear and insecurity of my passion in life, which mostly consists of writing - marketing/pr - mentoring youth - etc... I've also allowed circumstances to nearly beat me to a pulp, to the point where I almost lost myself in the maze of it all. Internally I've always known that I walk to the beat of my own drum, and I haven't always been proud to embrace it. Be that as it may, externally, for quite some time now I've finally been able to look in the mirror and be proud of that. But that's another story for another blog (coming soon) :-) Seriously, the mind is truly the biggest battle field, and I thank God everyday for keeping me! Currently, I'm working on my first book in hopes to be completed AND released this year. It's about me growing up without an active father in my life. It talks about my ups, downs, struggles, fears, and eventually my victory in forgiveness and liberation! The primary purpose of the book is to inspire people all over the world who can relate to my story, and even those who can't relate directly, there's a message for you as well. I am also working on a book of poetry, amongst other great things to come this year. I am nervous but excited, a little scared but hopeful, overall I'm READY!!! Please stay tuned and I will stay right here... at *P3n Place*...until we meet&greet again...
