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...

We're not in LA N-E-More XII

My phone is fixed! It was broke for about two weeks, I kinda broke it myself out of frustration & it was right before Christmas. So that meant no Christmas, New years or any Holiday pics. I was a little sad at first that I couldn't post on social media but after a while I found peace in enjoying activities & not worrying about pictures or footage. I visited my son for Christmas in Upstate NY for two days, Then I went to visit my God mom for a couple days dropped her off some gifts. I went to visit my God children & my God granddaughter that was fun. My God grand daughter is two years old and my God daughter & God son asked her if she wanted to sing head shoulders, knees & toes. She said no but they decided to sing it anyway to see if she would get into it. She didn't & after they finished the song all enthusiastically this little girl with her little baby voice said " Nobody asked for all that!" My husband & I busted out laughing ...
