Why write it?

Well its a long story really but I will make it short. I love writing, it comes naturally to me and always has. Back in my High School days, in the middle of an exam I remember writing a letter to my friend, she always reminds me of this and encouraged my writing. I always wrote my feelings down and that seemed to help when times were tough.

I wrote poems, songs, thoughts, revelations, stories, and something that was really helpful was writing letters to God. You know, 'Dear God, This is how I am feeling today please help me!' or 'Dear God, this is what is going on in my life'.

I never really took much notice of the fact that I did this, sometimes our greatest gifts are right under our noses, or in my case, at my fingertips! Anyway years later I finally recognised that this is a gift to be able to get it all down on paper or on my laptop as the case often is, and make some sense of things and realise the marvelous things I am learning and how I am changing and growing each day

So nowadays I write everything. I make notes and then write it as soon as I can. Life is full of learning experiences and our lessons can help others. It seems that God shows me a new perspective on things and I just write it down. In February 2003, I made a big step and made an email group, which now totals about 100 different people, friends, family and other connections and I send a once a month email. I get great feedback and the writing of them come with no effort whatsoever. It is called 'Light For Life', but perhaps I will leave that for another time as it is a BLOG in itself. Until next time...
