I wanted 2 B a Writer (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 13)

I wanted to be a writer so badly. Now I had it. I had no family. Van Gogh never sold a painting while he was alive. He died crazy & poor. ( I don't know about the crazy & poor part, I'm not with it.)

I don't seek darkness anywhere but in myself, I have enough. We're always one step from destruction. (Agreed)

How much can I think to say? Will people want to read it? I became nervous being so close to Van Gogh's brilliance & insanity. ( This is a wonderfully scary feeling)

In order to be an artist, one must be deeply rooted in society. What do you want by the time your 50? Search APORhomebase in this blog to know more about it.

Really, that is what a poet is, someone who loves words for themselves & she's their magic. (Agreed)

Feel words and their power; the way atoms are the unit of human bodies & trees, so words are the small units that make up sentences. (Powerful)

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 ...
