The Miracle of Writing

Some of you may already know this but I didn't until recently. Writing, preferably in longhand (for you texters and computer geeks that means
using a pen or pencil and paper;)) has the amazing ability to connect you
to the voice of your soul. I'm one of those people who has a logical mind
and that has served me well in physical therapy. But my logical mind is
lousy at showing me what my heart (soul) is trying to tell me. I have
spent the majority of my life (48 years so far) following what my head
(logical mind) was telling me to do and not following what my heart
(soul) was wanting to do. Hence, I've not been happy or satisfied with
any life choice that I've made that my heart wasn't behind.

But, what was my heart wanting to do? I tried to find out but I never
did until I started daily journaling in longhand. I was amazed at what
came out of the tip of my pen if I allowed myself to write quickly and
without thinking too much about what I was writing as I wrote it.
Just writing whatever pops into my head. Absolutely amazing what
God has written through me. My heart's desires have been revealed
and I've identified fears, frustrations, impediments, etc. that I could
not see clearly before I began writing.

Some of you may wonder if this blog is my daily journal and, no, it is
not. That is too personal to be aired out on the world wide web like
dirty laundry on the clothesline. Placed outside for all the world to
see. No, the daily journal is for only my eyes and yours
should be too. It's completely private. It's safe and that is necessary
for you to feel safe so you can completely bare your soul. If you're
like me you'll be surprised at what you discover on this journey. I found the Pioneer Poet!

Have a blessed day!
