I think I can add to this that anything of value always
comes at a price. Not necessarily money. Maybe the cost is time, or tears, or even
blood (paper cuts are brutal!). I say time and time again, I would not be
writing if it weren’t for my family. I have an awesome mother and supportive
dad who drive me to continue this journey. They push me toward excellence,
assuring me with every step that I will “make it” some day. Through their insistence,
I am starting to believe the cost is worth it.
In January, I was accepted into an online writing class by Odyssey...a first major success. As I progressed these past months, I find my writing improving and hints that perhaps everything is starting to fall into place. When we encounter obstacles in our lives, I think we have to remember that anything of value is worth the wait and the cost. I think we also have to rest on faith that things will work out, that this road is just preparation and that our journey is only beginning.
