Simply Me.
I'll start this off by saying that if I had to choose a word for this next year on Vocal, it would be Discovery. Vocal has been my breakthrough for my writing. What I mean by that, is I have enjoyed writing since I can remember. As a child, and into my teens I loved writing poems and song lyrics, and eventually started writing fictional love stories. But then I became an adult, and that life hit me like a freight train. Writing fell on the back burner for many years, even though I still had a desire deep down to continue it. I always let life get in the way though. And then, in my early 30's I ran across the Vocal platform. A spark lit back up in me, just a small one though. Because unfortunately at the time I was stuck in an unhealthy addiction which consumed my time and energy. So I signed up for the yearly subscription, and started to write. And boy did I write, for several months in fact. But sadly a year down the road I looked at my progress, and all I had to show for it were a bunch of unfinished drafts. I was going through so much I didn't really have the ability or attention span to commit myself to what I so badly wanted to do. With that being said, and before I can talk about my goals and aspirations for this new year on Vocal, I need to give you a bit more insight into my past.

The Tithe The church has asked for your ten percent. There are the year end accounts to reconcile and requests on what to give in upcoming events, chances to volunteer to help the cause. The pessimist in me recounts the times in which I said I would give, even if only to myself, and came up short or lacking, missing a deadline or wanting another edit to the timeline so I could make room for the unrequited time. My ledger of lost opportunity looms above me like a ghost visiting my bedroom on Christmas Eve.

To the Many
To the early mornings and the feelings of a grey, heavy, ambience, where the guilt melts away with the falling rain. To the sound of the birds outside the window, tirelessly executing the exquisite concert of squawks. To my partner to be there by my side, still, loving me like he does, despite all the trouble I might be causing. To his heavy, beautiful arms resting on my waist until it hurts. To the smell of my sheets, lavishly soaked in orange and lavender. To the ten deep breaths and the perfect stillness without intrusive thoughts harassing my mind. To the split second between my feet and the timber floor, and standing there, ready for the world. To the curious potential, the day holds. To remembering that I am here only for a short visit and I might be called to leave at any time. May this year be filled with the charm of the mundane. I wish to stay present and awake, grateful, alive and at peace.
NostiPublished 3 months ago in Motivation Today I can break down
Feeling lost when life is too much, what can you do? Alone, in the dark room, staring at the world via the tall window, you wonder how it would feel like to have someone care about you. You wonder how it would be to have a safe place to run away from everyone. How it would feel like to have someone who would hold you and kiss your face as tears pour down their cheeks? The feeling of love that you could share with another person.

All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players; -Jaques, in Shakespeare's As You Like It Play. We started playing as a way to find our own feet, to learn to talk, to imitate our parents and siblings, as a way to hone our skills, to get in shape, to while away extra time, to reduce our stress.

Do you have it? That thing some call the “it” factor? Apparently, I have the magical “it” factor. And I’m here to tell you that “it” is not limited to a select few. I get a lot of push back when I make this statement to everyone ranging from therapists to the spiritually aware.

Envision a grand orchestra, an intricate tapestry of sounds designed to harmonize into a work of art. Yet, in this auditorium of day-to-day existence, the instruments strike discordant chords. The flutes warble out endless grocery lists, the violins resonate with the strings of past social faux pas, and the cellos moan under the weight of countless emails demanding a response. This is the dissonant symphony of the scatterbrained, performed daily on the stage of our distracted minds.

Satan knows how to enchant us with soothing melodies that strike the chords of our hearts intensely. Contrary to what many have charismatically proposed and asserted in a bid to discredit satans perceived prowess in devising mischief, he is not exactly ignorant neither is he illiterate. He is neither a novice or fledgling who is shabbily attempting to distinguish himself in the arena of deception.
