Learning to Balance
Good morning to all of my readers. I am sorry for my absence. I decided to try my hand and the whole NaNoWriMo in November. I am happy to say that I met my goal and because of this I am now working on editing my first book. With this though has come the struggle to balance my work time, personal writing time, and family time. I am happy to say that I think I am bringing it together well. I guess only time will tell. This gave me the idea to write this new post.

I have learned that the best way to handle these words is to ignore them. If I let myself get tied behind these words, I find my personal style suffering, which makes my professional style suffer as well. While there will always be a deadline and time restraints for everything we do in our lives, we must learn not to dwell on them. If it is meant to be, you will find a way to make it happen. Allowing myself to adopt this mindset has given me the opportunity to see myself grow. Removing the time clock that was constantly running in my head, gave me room for creative flow. This is not to say that I do not meet deadlines or have a schedule to keep. Only that I let myself worry about the quality of my work, instead of constantly looking at the clock to see how much time I have to complete it. This has not only given me peace of mind, whether I am working on work to be turned in or personal creations, but also improved the quality of both. So my advice to you is to let the clock take the backseat. Know that it is there, but do not let it take the space of your personal thinking.
I hope you all have a wonderful Thursday and an inspired weekend. Find what makes you happy and make it your own.

Inspire Yourself to Shine
Say I can do it, and show that you believe,
Inspire yourself to overcome and achieve,
Not only your dreams but your desires of heart,
Believe in yourself, this is always the first place to start,
Your goals are reachable, as easy as can be,
If you put in the work, and desire to see,
Reach for the stars and pluck them from the sky,
Grow your own wings and teach yourself to fly,
Never say impossible, or so it becomes,
Negativity breeds negative as your mind gradually numbs,
So positive think and positivity speak,
Imagine a rainbow, brighten the horizon that is bleak,
You are your own sun, say this warmth is mine,
Nothing is impossible when you inspire yourself to shine.

Our World Is Crying For Change
Our world is hurting, lives are being lost
Innocence and virtue are paying the ultimate cost
Everyone is fighting, the tactics are all the same
No one accepts their part, everyone else is to blame
Our children will suffer, what will be the price
Of an ever evolving world, addicted to money, greed, and vice
Politicians are pointing fingers, people are turning up dead
You can lose your life for how you think, pray, and for things you have said
Will no one stand up for our world as it weeps
From the fear inside, all the secrets it keeps
Our world is scared of the violence, the faces of anger are strange
It is desperately crying, pleading for change.
