I want to thank everyone again for all the support, the hugs, the well wishes. This past weekend was rough for my family, but life moves on and we’re moving with it. It’s the only thing I like about sharks – the fact that they have to keep moving forward or die. It’s a good way of looking at the world because it’s going to keep on rolling, and either you roll with it or it flattens you pancake-style.
Which all sounds rather discouraging, but in actuality, things are better.
I’m tired, though, and have lost a little of my oomph. I’ve been wanting desperately to write because of the great swells of feeling and then finding myself exhausted simply looking at the page. Not scared or intimidated – just wrung out. I’ve been needing some extra inspiration, which is why I’m so very glad I found this video on TED Talks:
She moved me quite to tears in the middle of a work day, but I don’t mind. Watch it. It’s a drink of water. It’s chocolate on a bad day.
Starting tomorrow evening, I will be gone on a weekend vacation and totally out of contact. No cell, no internet. I’ll be back to regular blogging topics next week – maybe not #writemotivation goals so much but I have some other things I want to talk about.
In the meanwhile, everyone get out there and tell some beautiful stories.
Hugs you so tight, and won’t let go. I hope you have a most needed relaxing weekend. <3
I love this video. Saw it in a creative writing class when we were discussing performance poetry.
{{SUPER HUGS FOR A SUPER PERSON}}
Have a good weekend! You deserve it.
so beautiful and inspiring. thanks for sharing. i hope you find what you need this weekend. *big hugs*
I want to thank you for that BEAUTIFUL video! It was amazing. I really don’t know what to say, Becca. It seems as though quite a few of us are dealing with some unwanted and uncontrollable negativity in our lives. This video couldn’t come at a better time. I will now go quietly cry in my cube….
It’s good to have you back, sort of
You should take as much time as you need and remember everyone will cheer you on when you’re ready <3
Enjoy your week, and thanks for the video share!
That was an amazing video, and I can definitely tell why it encouraged you so much! *hug* Have a wonderful vacation, dear!
I hope you have a relaxing and enjoyable weekend away from it all. Hugs and thanks for the reminder about keeping forward momentum, no matter what happens.
