Discover You! (An Anthology)

These are lines that stuck out to me when reading a book called Wild Mind, Living the writers life. By, Natalie Goldberg. (Part 5)

I needed 2 go as far as I could alone, 2 discover what I had in me & not be influenced too early. (Things I wish I did)

Let yourself live in something that is already rightfully yours; your own wild mind! (That's y I write so much, to get the wildness out.)

That is what falling in love is, a loss of control. (I have nothing 2 say here, just a long strong sigh.)

This is why it is good to know & study the mind, so we may become confident in it's use & come 2 trust ourselves. (Trusting urself is the key)

You know, I've never met a writer who wanted 2 be n-e-thing else. They might bitch about something they're writing or about their poverty, but they never say they want 2 quit. They might stop 4 months but those who have bitten down on the true root do not abandon it, if they do abandon it they become drunk or suicidal. (Dare I say that this is true!)

Writing is elemental, once you have tasted it's essential life, you cannot turn from it w/o deep denial & depression. ( Life breathed into me ever since I started this blog)

My discovery a potato or tomato bug. I forgot which & I don't feel like looking it up🤦🏾‍♀️

A Recovery Love Story

Thank you Cliff for allowing me to write the love story of you & your Beautiful wife! I found this just tear jerking ❤️ There was a time in my life when my one true love was wine and spirits. I mean I knew drinking wasn't good for me & I played around with the thought of stopping every once in a while, but never enough for anything to stick. I wasn't the AA type of guy, I didn't feel the need to express my problems with a group of people. I didn't think that would be my route to recovery if I ever decided to stop. What I didn't know was that I was right. One day I was driving, on my way to take myself fishing. I had a 12 pack of Bud Light in my ice chest in the trunk. As I was driving I couldn't wait to pop a can open & feel that cold refreshing taste. As I drove I passed a church tent revival. I slowed down for no particular reason & laughed to myself. I guess I caught them in a moment. Watching them as they were run...

Cilla Lee-Jenkins Book 12

Remember book reports when we were in school? For some they were a dreaded terrible thing, for others they were fun ways to recall your favorite book and an easy format to tell someone what the book was about. I've decided to post some reports of books I've read recently; let's jump right in. This book was given to me as an inspiration gift because it was noticed that I enjoy writing and reading very much. At work during down time I would write short stories and I even wrote the love story of one of my married co-workers on this blog. Matter fact the person that gave me the book! You can read his story here it's called A Recovery Love Story .
