Recurring Themes
I did it! I wrote 2 articles for our school's newsletter, Handprints. I finished them on Friday. I am not sure when Handprints is going to print, but I am so excited to see one of my articles in print! I had a lot of fun writing and pulling together information for my two stories! I want to do it again!

Something I just read now:
48 Days to the Work You Love, by Dan Miller
page 78 Values, Dreams, and Passions
"What is it that you find naturally enjoyable? If money were not important, what would you spend your time doing? When do you find the time just flying by? What are those recurring themes that keep coming up in your thinking? What did you enjoy as a child but perhaps have been told was unrealistic or impractical to focus on as a career?
This is a tough area for most people. There is a subtle spiritual myth that following our dreams is likely to be selfish, egotistical, and something God would frown on. That kind of thinking implies that God is totally outside of ourselves; we are simply physical robots separated from His mind and heart. However, we are created in God's image and such are creators ourselves. Why would God have created us to think imaginatively and to have vivid dreams only to then squelch those dreams for practicality? Consider the possibility that your dreams and desires are the voice of your soul, God's voice within you, longing for expression through your faith and action. And as you move toward your values, dreams, and passions, you will move toward being more spiritual and more fully what God created you to be."
Ok then....do you see the recurring theme?
It's time to write, dear Wanda. Pick up your pen.
