Why Not A Revolution of Evolution?
Outside of the lines
Every once and a while I get the urge to write or share something outside of literature, it spices things up.
Is It Just Me Or?
Do all of your best ideas come to light just as darkness surrounds you? I can stare for hours at my notebook or at my laptop without a single thought to grab onto. Then, just as I drift off and dream of what could be the scene strikes. It’s never fully developed but it is a dare. Do I get out of the warm confines of my bed to jot down this magnificent unicorn of an idea? Or do I trust myself to remember it come the break of dawn?
I have done both several times, meeting with failure and victory.
Is it because I allow my mind to wander so freely that these thoughts take hold? Is it because my imagination is priming itself for whatever dream I am about to have? I wish I could capture whatever it is I do before I fall to sleep.
The perfect writing trance, it is like nirvana for my creativity. It cannot be created only experienced.
Experience is the best teacher.
Finding The Right Light
#PepsiCenter #Nofilter
Nothing is ever easy. There is always an excuse, a reason not to continue. In those moments you have to wonder why you put yourself there to begin with? Did you do it with purpose and the intention of work? Was it merely a dream, a hope?
Looking left, looking right, looking straight ahead the answer is nowhere to be found. Why don’t you look where it really matters? Inside of you. You are the only one with the knowledge. Only you can answer your questions. Even in the darkest of moments there is a light to your dream if you can find it.
Each of us has it. We can each do it. It doesn’t matter what it is. It is so simple yet we complicate it. All you can do when surrounded in the darkness is turn on a light. It does’t have to be the best light, it doesn’t have to be a natural light.
Simple cell phones can light up an entire darkened stadium.
My light is writing.
What about you?
There will be a new update to the blog (besides the layout change) coming. New and different content, I look forward to your feedback.
2014 is going to be the year, it is a promise.

If He Can Be A Pirate For A Living
Then I most certainly can make it as a writer- excited to see my favorite pirate tonight.

Buildings in the Mist
I am not a big city girl but the buildings and the architecture never cease to amaze me.
I also like the idea that you can be somebody or be completely anonymous as you walk down the busy sidewalks.
What would you do if no one knew who you were?
Cheers
Well my first night in Chicago could not have gone any better. I got to enjoy some good beer and make some new friends at Mother Hubbards.
After that was an amazing dinner downtown(see above) on the patio under the cover as rain came pouring down. The lighting put on quite a show. It was the type of scene I would love to capture in my writing.
Today’s adventure will include the Navy Pier.
Happy Friday Everyone!
Adventure
I bet you can guess where my next adventure is going to take place.
Go on, Guess, you know you want to……
I will be spending a long weekend in Chicago.
I will keep updating while I am away but it is going to have a different feel to it because why not?
I look forward to sharing the fun with you.
Happy Thursday!
Behind These Shades
You Will Find:
A fierce Determination.
A unique Creativity.
A lack of Modesty.
A fun Intelligence.
A tendency for Adventure.
The Future.
What will I see behind your frames?
In The Pursuit
Of Happiness-
I was feeling a little discouraged that I wasn’t doing enough to get where I want to be.
Then over the weekend I crossed the 2,000 follower mark and felt revitalized-
Thank you for all your support!
FYI- the song below is not PG 😉
Foreign Friday Inspiration
It has been raining here in Colorado for what seems like forever. I have never seen anything like this and I am sure I never will again, watching the news has proven to be quite the distraction.
I needed to get back on track, this picture of Amsterdam was perfect for that. I am hoping to go to Europe next year to travel, photograph and most important write. I don’t need to waste another moment not improving myself.
What is driving you to improve?
Happy Friday!
