Honesty is my moral compass, which is grounded and rooted upon a solid and stable foundation. My sense of integrity, self-worth, and self-confidence is not dependent on the outside world, but it is an internal feeling. This feeling cannot be emulated. You have to build one for yourself. Learn to focus on more than the outer appearance of things, and use a soft focus on the senses you have been divinely blessed with. Believe me, there is always much more to a story than meets the eye and ear. Listen to your breathing and heartbeat, and then you will become aware of the rhythms around you. Mix all of the ingredients with a hungry thirst for knowledge and a curious mind, and it will help you build your moral compass of honesty. She always believed there are moments in our lives that can be defined as a transition between the "before and the after," between the "cause and the effect." She is in a space between her comfort zone and infinity. Sometimes she wants to hide and not be seen, not be open, and not be vulnerable, but she also realizes that as a writer, she is obligated. So she comes to the conclusion that there are two ways she can do this, soft and gentle or fast and hard; either way, both will get her to the other side, if she just creates. Whenever you or someone chooses a path designated and appointed just for you, follow that path to the end. Sure, you may sometimes come to a roadblock then take the detour. You see, a detour could be an interstate highway to your dream. It's not the end of the road. Writing makes one's Soul smile and their Spirit shine. It is only me and God's Shadow. It is not an occasional resort for me, but a constant abiding place where she can find not only consolation but also habitation. It's my home, my safe haven, my quietude and my quiet space where my writing and creativity consumes me, and yet cannot quench the fire within. My heart speaks to me, and the words penetrate and pierce my soul to the very core of my being. Words of encouragement and inspiration, words that we dare not utter, but is imprinted and embedded deep within our souls.
