I used to get really discouraged when I'd think about the fact that I was "not where I wanted to be in life," whatever TH that means...
.
.
You know what I mean. Thinking back to when you were a kid. You may not have known exactly what you want it to be but you had an idea of what you want your life to look like.
.
.
For the most part my life doesn't look anything like I thought it would. For 10 years I worked in state government. I was also a flight attendant for a major commercial airline. In for the past 4 years I've worked in radio and media production & I'm currently working on my Masters degree & thinking of getting into education. .
.
When I quit my state job after 10 years, I felt lost. I didn't know what I was gonna do. I knew I needed another job but I didn't know what I wanted to do. So I reverted back to what I had always done. I started writing.
.
.
Writing has always been my comfort zone, my happy place. It's the one thing I know I'm good at. And it satisfies my soul.
.
.
Unbeknownst to me, during this period of soul searching, I found my purpose. And my peace. .
.
Sometimes it takes getting lost to find yourself.

One of the greatest ways to honor God is by sharing our gifts with the world.
.
.
Believe it or not every one of us has a God-given talent. The problem is that many of us view talent as a physical characteristic such as singing or dancing or performing. And I was that person too, before I discovered what I was good at. You see, that's all talent really is anyway, something you're good at.
.
.
We all have gifts. Some of us are really good speakers. Some of us are really great listeners. Some of us have the ability to show compassion towards our fellow man. And some of us can cook our asses off.
.
.
From an early age I knew that I was good with words, but it took me some time to hone into my craft. For the longest time, I only dreamed of being a writer. I challenge you to tap into what you want in life, what you're good at.
.
.
Before I was a blogger, I was just a girl who wanted to write. .
