There you have it (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 12)

There you have it; we are human beings. My writing self is braver than my human self, the part of me that is not a warrior of truth & words, lags behind. We have to take it all into consideration. (If I'm not writing my truth what am I writing?)

Yes I will always be true to my writer self. She is very brave & fearless, but I've learned she doesn't care about n-e-thing else; like my health, my contentment, my well being. I used to follow her blindly & leave the rest of me homeless, shoeless, & hungry. Now I work to care for all of me, so when I do publish the truth, I'll have a life to stand on, to steady me when I bring to light the deepest secrets of my soul. (It's like she wrote this for me.)

Being a writer in our society is making a choice outside the norm. Writing practice brings us back to the uniqueness of our own minds and an acceptance of it. We all have wild dreams, fantasies and ordinary thoughts. Let us feel the texture of them and not be afraid of them. writing is still the wildest thing I know! ( Agreed)

This is human life. Sometimes nothing makes sense. No one way contains it all. (Preach)

When you write, you tap the core of your wildness, you have to be prepared to let that live inside you & not destroy it. Write the truth! (My truth is hard for me to tell, this is where I get the energy)

Writing is a great journey. It is a path with the possibility of making us free! (It make me feel free all the time.)

I thought of the pain of writing, I thought it was more painful never to write. (Agreed)

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 .
