Then, I traveled to Cuba.
Each of us have been gifted a unique quality that belongs exclusively to us. It's the thing that no one can ever copy. It's the one thing that you own out right. It can't be sold, bartered for, or ever duplicated. Some of us are blessed to find it early in our lives. Others, go about a search of a lifetime. When the "Individual," self of who are, finally reveals its self, we may or may not be prepared to accept the ongoing challenge of mastering our gift.
However our start in this life began, I say to everyone, "Please don't let it be your finish." Once regret sets in, "I wish I would have," "If only I knew," "I should have listened to me." Break away from what has been done before, and make your mark. Settle your debt to everyone that you can, and start to live.
My one gift that I have been blessed to discover and hone, is the clarity of my written word. Everyone that truly knows me, has always known that my creativity comes out on paper. It is the gift that I have been given. It is the exact same gift that I give myself. It's the gift that I share with many. It is my mark.
I've settled most of my debt to others. I've always had a loud voice. I'm learning to quiet it with written word. Words can easily be forgotten, but how they make you feel is everlasting. I write for me, I really do. I encourage myself. I cheer for everyone. When I can't seem to figure something out, or if have great news to share, I share it. I will not let the story go untold. I just can't. Maybe I have traveled someplace that touched me, or just had some crazy random circumstance that offered me a provoking moment to share. I have to tell you.
I write notes to myself, and then I share them with you. It's what I'm good at doing, and so it shall be done.
Cuba was an adventure. Read all about it in my blog.....@Gypsyrosemontgomery.com
