To know what I think
To work through what I don’t yet know
To know and be known, to love and be loved
To acknowledge my feelings
To organize the chaos and cultivate inner order
To connect the dots and create meaning
To notice
To bear witness
To remember the past and record the present for the sake of the future
To reframe
To practice soul care
To prepare for words that must be spoken
To shed words that must never be spoken
To nurture my inner child
To tune in to my inner wisdom
To laugh alongside my inner jester
To listen to my spirit listening to the Spirit
To fulfill my purpose
To play
To pray
To imagine and to dream
To process pain
To understand
To forgive
To celebrate
To dig deeper
To plant seeds of beauty
To grow
To share encouragement and hope, faith and love
To speak truth
To take necessary risks
To become my best self
To leave a trail of breadcrumbs
To wander in the wilderness
To find my way home
I write for all of these reasons, and more. I write because I cannot not write.
I write because I am a writer.
