Inspiration
They rejected my article 6 times yesterday.
It took me nearly a good 2-3 hours to draft, edit and re-edit before I just threw my finger down and removed the post completely. It's not that I can't handle rejection, I have developed pretty tough skin over my lifespan to handle it and learn to let go. But for some intense reason, I just wanted everyone to know my story so I kept pushing until I just wanted to remove my account from this platform and be done.

I have decided to write a memoir.
I never thought I would really write a book. I have dreamt of it time and time again but did not think it would ever happen. I thought the reality was that I would want to do it but I would never in a million years actually start it. After all, my perfectionism is out of hand. Eight years of therapy and I still have no grasp on it. If that much therapy is unable to help it, what will? Well, I received that answer today when checking my email. I asked a published author of an amazing book for some tips. (The book and author I am referring to is View from the Floor by Kate Berger, in case anyone is interested.)

An Unforgettable Interview With An American Icon. Top Story - September 2023.
In 1984 I was an education manager, and English teacher, in a secondary school. Though I loved my work I yearned to write, too. I had scribbled down all kinds of ideas that I felt would give voice to my creativity, talent and aspirations, but they had all ended up in the bin, being roundly beaten by low confidence, a lack of self-belief and simple fear about how my efforts might be received. But the yearning to have my writing seen by others only intensified as time went by.

For you my love
As I sit down down put pen to paper, my heart smells with a torrent of emotions that wprds can scarcely encapsulate. How does one even begin to convey the depth of adoration and affection that courses throught their veins? Nevertheless, I shall endeavor to pour my feelings onto this canvas of parchment, hoping that the essence of my love finds its way to you.

My Aversion To Poetry
Introduction This is just the devil in me that I have written about so often when it has got me down and upset, but writing this piece I feel in a good mood and on top of things, because where I used to think I was being forced into something, now I feel it is entirely my own choice and in my own hands.

Word of the Day - Exogenous
As a long-time logophile (lover of words) I've been itching to do this for a while. You agree with me, right? Words are fascinating. Where would you or I be without them? They are the most versatile tools; they can be paintbrushes or knives. They can be sharp; they can soothe. They might be what separates us from animals. They can have an intriguing history.

Beauty of Nature
Once upon a time, in a small village nestled at the foot of a magnificent mountain range, lived a young girl named Lily. She had always been captivated by the beauty of nature, spending her days exploring the lush green meadows, listening to the sweet melodies of birds, and marveling at the vibrant colors of flowers. For Lily, the beauty of nature was a constant source of joy and inspiration.
