Yesterday's post was difficult to write because it pushed the boundaries of my comfort zone. It was not particularly personal, though it certainly felt that way. I'm glad I took the risk and posted it, though. I received numerous comments (and a couple phone calls) from friends and family who told me they "needed that message." As a writer, this means more to me than you all will ever know. As a person, I was touched by your willingness to share your own stories. You cried along with me.
Several times during the writing process I felt a little "icky" -- that's the simplest way I can describe it. I doubted my message and whether it was appropriate to post. In future posts, starting with today's -- ha -- I will strive to put myself back in that icky zone. That seems to be the stuff that resonates with people and fulfills me creatively.
Stay tuned...
