About a year ago, I decided to pursue my passion for writing. Last summer, I began my memoir...or at least that was my intention...during the leadership program I am a part of. Classes ended with the promise to keep the thoughts and pen flowing.
But fast forward six months later-I have not made significant progress with my story-besides a collection of poems I've created. I often talk to a couple of friends about this block that I've had. I'm not sure if it's a time issue because sometimes I have too much of it on my hands.
The realization hit, that in order for me to be productive, some 'thing' must happen in my life! Well, that 'thing' sure has. I am currently 5 months pregnant and lovin' it ;-)!! My wonderful little joy inside of me has been the motivation I desperately needed to continue my writing journey.
Events-miraculous and devastating-inspire me to accomplish my goals...so my friends, what inspires you?
My pregnancy inspired me too. Most people focus on financial legacies for their children. I want to leave Quinn with the legacy of my words. I want her to read my emotions and hopefully it will provide her with comfort. She will know what I experienced and overcame. I hope that they give her strength so that she will never give up on life and love. She will understand that sometimes you smile to hold back the tears and it's okay because sunshine will come. Enjoy every moment of your pregnancy, you will never look at the world the same as you did before.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing, Soulful Storyteller! I know my baby girl will enjoy reading my poems about my pregnancy when she's older. A written legacy will last a lot longer than most others...
