Your Assignment

I can't say it enough. Nothing just happens. Everything in your life serves a pertinent purpose. The good, the bad, the indifferent, and the ugly all mean something in your story. It all plants a seed, waters a seed, cultivates a seed, or harvests a seed. Your job is to ask God which is what. 


And that's your assignment: to view every person you meet and every situation you go through as a lesson. Ask yourself: What is this person/situation meant to teach me? Believe me, every person in our lives has a lesson to teach. Some lessons include to become stronger, to be more communicative, to trust intuition, to be more self-loving, to know when to let go, even to be nothing like that person. 


Lessons are meant to be learned. Otherwise, they are destined to be repeated. In all your getting, please get understanding...

My Year Long Writing Challenge

Greetings from the lab,

In June 2010, I found another author's writing challenge. So I kept it although I knew I wasn't ready to follow it. After some recent events, I feel I need to get serious about this writing jones, lest the Lord give my gift to another. This will be the venue where I unleash my creativity from the challenge.

Here's the deal: Pick one day of the week. ( I pick Sunday) Carve out 30 minutes and dedicate that time to creating a story based on the writing prompts provided. There is one prompt for each week of the upcoming year (Nov 2011-Oct 2012).

So let the games begin. Writing as if the pen never leaves my hand...
