Created to Create.

Created to create, it is innate in us.

Formed before we were born, it is alive in us.

A sound. A word. A brush of the pen.

Why do we doubt our work before we even begin?

The product is a process and it costs us nothing to express.

The creative idea that floats in our minds and releases our breathe.

We come alive as we write our own hidden stories

But we judge our work on whether others will find it boring.

A double tap to like and clicks in the link of our bio

Constantly refreshing the page to see if we've gone viral ...

Our measurement of excellence is now based on an audience

Who never got backstage passes to cheer us on when we're most nauseous

Where is the beauty in our creation if we wait for all this validation?

The fear of missing out is not a strange theory to the creator. For we fear missing out on the birth of our unique artistic flavour.

We want to stand out, we want to be different

All while being afraid to show others our failure of commitment

The days we are dry and have nothing to produce

Are the days we are actually cultivating good fruit

There is beauty in silence and life springs from the defeated moments

But seldom do we realize that we are our own opponent......

New Beginnings

September is always my ‘New Beginnings’ month. New Years resolutions mean nothing to me, but September’s plans are what propel me. I believe this is because of the fact that each new school year begins in September in most, if not all, Canadian cities.  A couple of years ago I told my friends that on September 7 2019 I was going to have my wedding day. I decided this day made sense because I love the number 7, I love the month of September, and most importantly because I figured by 29 I’ll be ready and would have met my knight in shining armour. LOL!! 

As it turns out, I still feel 21 and my knight is probably somewhere deciding what he should eat for dinner and if he should download a dating app. PS If you are my future husband and are reading this -- DON’T do it! You will not find me there. Just DM me. I gotchu. 

Anyway, instead of today being the day I married the man of my dreams, I committed it to being the woman that God intended me to be. 

I don’t have it all figured out and thankfully He doesn’t ask me to. But He has asked me over and over again to write and share what I write - instead of just waiting until I finally release a play or book. 

There is so much that we can do before our ‘big’ moments.

So let us move forward this September and onwards without our own perfect life plans and instead let us commit to being the person God intended us to be - not the person we think we should be. 

I have paralyzed myself from releasing and sharing A LOT because of over-thinking, perfectionism, fear of my grammatical errors and honestly just being distracted by men, work, routines and instagram. 

But today? No, not today satan. 

It’s the month and the day of a new beginning. 

With Love,
