Vulnerability

Portland, Maine

My First Blog Post Ever!

Thank you for being here.

I have accomplished many things in my life, but the one thing that alludes me, is being comfortable writing. It was my weakest subject in school and I avoided it whenever possible. 

I am in the midst of experiencing an amazing journey awakening my soul. I want to share this awakening in hopes that some of it will resonate with you and help you with the ups and downs of your own journey. In order to do so, I have to write. My time is up. No more avoidance.

This past year I have kept a journal of the awakening and I am in the midst of working with my editor turning it into a story to share with the world. In the meantime, I am going to share bits and pieces of my journey, along with other thoughts, to practice and improve my writing.

I have chosen not to edit and rewrite much in my blogs. I want to be vulnerable with my writing ability or lack of and I feel putting it out there raw will allow me to see my growth over time. I also need to be putting most of my time into my book and I’m a master at procrastination when it comes to writing!

Being vulnerable with my writing ability will help me heal the traumas that put me in this position of being fearful to write. I know somewhere inside of me my writing can flow and be my voice. Over time, I will relax, be comfortable and my voice will appear. I’m sure of it. Bear with me and in the future, I will invite you to read my published story.

For me, when I expose my writing to others, it creates a different perspective for me. I am more relaxed and can see the errors or changes I want to make much easier in this relaxed state. I’m sure, after I post this, I will read it again tomorrow and want to make changes, but it will stand as is, vulnerable and a beginning.

Welcome to my journey to becoming a writer.
