I have spent a good part of the final days of 2015 trying to make a plan for 2016. I guess time will tell if I am able to put these in action. Action being the key to my year. I have spent the last few years in a very introspective state, this was necessary for me to heal and become who I am today. I love my internal musings and where they lead me. However at some point they start to feel redundant. So this year for me is about taking my knowledge of how I tick and doing. Doing in a loving and forgiving manner as I know this is super scary for me. My safe place is nestled in my mind and home where nothing bad can affect me. Going out and trying new things meeting new people is terrifying for me. But I have a few very specific goals that I am taking mini steps to achieve and so far its going ok.
One of these is deciding that my writing is for me, I have lots of stories in my mind and eventually they may find there way to paper but first and foremost writing is my way of formulating my thoughts and a reflection of what I am feeling. Some of this I will share with you all and some is not ready for the light of day. This realization has removed some of the fear that was rearing up around my writing and that makes me happy. I will continue to blog as I am drawn, some like this will be updates as to the state of my mind, others will be thoughts that I want to share and open up for others to discuss. I refuse to put myself down to a schedule on this as I don't want to let anyone, (especially myself) down.
The other thing that has become apparent to me in my introspection is that relationships are very important, both those in the physical and the ones I have developed via the net. So I will continue to break out of my fear and reach out to those that I connect with and I ask that you all do the same. If 2016 has shown us anything in these first few weeks is that our time here is fleeting. Don't let it pass you by, reach out to those you want to be in your life and don't let the naysayers hold you down.
I for one am such a huge fan of your writing Sherry as you well know. I am so happy that you are writing when you can as I am always so excited to read more of what you have imagined in your mind that you bring to life in such a riveting way. You are a writer! I loved what you wrote in this blog and have decided to join you in stepping out in action for 2016. And continuing my journey within that has me amazed, dazed and confused sometimes and others I am bowled over by the miracles and blessings and my own ability to help myself and grow on my healing journey. Thank you for your continued part in it my beautiful friend, soul sister and soulful one. I will come back as you share more with gratitude and love. <3
