I am ecstatic to realize my first blog at 1:03 am on a Saturday morning! A lifelong dream of being a “writer” or at least, testing the waters of publishing a few thoughts.
This initiative took several long hours of struggling, researching, and a diving into a trial-and-error process of setting up a website. Unlike all of my other achievements (large and small), a lot of time, energy and focus were the keys to making this happen. No teacher, no professional services, nor training to guide me through. But I won’t expound on this now – I’ll be sharing this ongoing trend as I begin to share my life story.
But more importantly, I hope to connect with others, be entertained with your story, learn from your perspective, and lastly, be inspired to help and provide support to others as needed.
In closing, it’s apropos to note that the devastating COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 and current “6 week quarantine” has been the catalyst to the realization of this dream.
“In the midst of winter, I finally learned there was in me an invisible summer.” – Albert Camus
Very interested in this topic. Loved the quote and the comparison throughout the blog. I don’t have the answer for you but hopeful to hear thoughts of others on this topic
Thanks for your visit! I agree – I too loved this quote!
Beautiful writing, so far!
Being ecstatic as you explore your lifelong dream of becoming a “writer” is yet another example of the positives that can emerge from something so negative as a pandemic.
Thanks Lisa for stopping by and weighing in. I am hearing of so many positive steps people are taking and sharing, helping to keep our spirits afloat during this tragic period. Stay healthy!
