New year. New goals. Same calling. Same blessed
calling. If you’ve visited here before, you may have sensed I’m a little
passionate about perspective. The way we approach life has the ability to
influence how content we are. In recent days, I’ve been thinking quite a bit
about my vocation—my stick-to-it-ness regarding writing. Glenn Close put a
powerful punctuation on my thoughts with her Golden Globes award speech last
night.
“I feel what I learned through this whole
experience . . . we are women and nurturers . . . we have our children, and our
husbands if we are lucky enough, our partners, whoever,” Close said. “But we
have to find personal fulfillment. We have to follow our dreams.”
I haven’t always devoted hours a day developing
characters and reimagining plot twists. I’ve waitressed, answered phones, and been
responsible for planning an event where Bill Gates was the keynote speaker. I’ve
strategized marketing plans, changed diapers, and managed a waterpark. I hate
waterparks…not sure what I was thinking taking that job. But I can assert,
without a hint of doubt, my time dedicated to writing, building stories, has
been the most fulfilling.
I get to do this. I get to wake up and take care of my
kids, while simultaneously working out how to strengthen my main character. I
get to prepare meals and put away shoes for the one hundredth time, quickly
stopping myself so I have enough time to race and jot down the running dialogue
in my head. I get to invent stories. Bring people to life. Hurt and help them.
Transform them. Teach through them. Learn from them.
I get to open up a world all the while understanding
that world will someday soon transfer from my hands into yours. There’s nothing
in the world that compares to writing for me. It regenerates me. Rejuvenates
me. It reminds me I’m alive and my life has meaning.
I start 2019 dedicated to the same blessed calling and
I couldn’t be any more grateful. Because of my family’s support and so much more, I get to
do this.
What do you get to do?
