My Writing Life: Little Red Pays a Visit

I was hoping my move to the river a few weeks ago would provide me for good inspiration for my writing. It has taken me sometime to settle in to my new place and that has been a distraction from school, and of course my writing. The inspiration is starting to kick in, I am happy to say.

Writing has been my life and I’ve never fulfilled writing what I really wanted to write about so I am working on that now while I am working on BA at UMass Amherst University Without Walls where I am majoring in Creative Writing and Communication in the Digital Age.

I had a visitor to my front porch this morning. A little red squirrel who eventually started tearing into an old cushion on beat up wicker chair with a basket of fake forsythia in it. I grabbed the cameras. And then I grabbed my big 8.5″ x 11″ journal and started writing. I”ll take it… one page at a time.

Today, I re-mind myself that over the course of time, we all repeat the same mistakes time and time again until we solidify the lesson we need to learn. Today, I ask for the strength to learn and grow from my mistakes. I re-mind myself that there are always warning signs and I must be watchful for those signs so that I will not to succumb to the vicious cycle of repeating my mistakes over and over again.

Daily Affirmations: Happiness

When life is weighty and full of troubles it is so important to remember that happiness is a choice that I can make freely. Choosing happiness does not mean my problems dissolve or magically disappear, it means I am determined to not let my problems get the best of me. I affirm that in order to be happy, I must choose to be happy, today and everyday. Yes, there will always be days when it is easier than others, but I acknowledge that happiness is not a gift, and I must work at achieving my happiness. No one else can make me happy; I alone can make myself happy. Intent makes manifest.

Daily Affirmations: Our Greatest Teachers

Today, I am re-minded that our greatest teachers in life are often those with whom we have the most problems. I recognize this day that there is so much I can learn from relationships that are troublesome and I affirm my willingness to learn. I seek today and every day to focus on the positive forces I may gain from even the most difficult situations. In this I create a loving space for learning through in difficult relationships through acceptance, tolerance and love.
