It was more than just writing.
Writing every day.
It was thinking, reflecting, rereading.
Editing, perfecting, and publishing.
It was complicated.  It was intensive.
It was worth the push and pull of my heart and my mind.


Inspiration.


It was more than just reading.

Learning, interpreting, and adoring.
Some I skimmed. Some I soaked in.
Some grabbed me by the hand and led me to a writer's dream.


Inspiration.

I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years!
