Sharing in the Process

It's been a slow process.

I'm a private person.
I like to fade into a crowd.
It takes me awhile to warm up to you.

That's why it's been a slow process.

I shared my writing with my mother.
Then I opened myself to dear friends.
I found others like me in a community of writers.

It's a process that takes time.

Each new day, each new writing
Draws the writer out of me
Willing to share more and more.

It takes time and then others want to share.

My mother started a reading blog.
A friend created a blog about teaching.
Another friend was inspired to write.

It's been a slow process.

We are all blossoming into writers
We never believed existed in an
Amazingly short amount of time.

  3. You've always had the ability to express yourself, but now you are putting it in print. It's amazing how the thoughts just seem to explode when you write them. Keep writing and sharing. It not only helps you grow, but you'll be able to help your daughters and students grow too. You are an amazing woman. Love, M

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! 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...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. 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!
