Once again I’ve taken an unscheduled break from writing. I am happy to report it was not due to a sickness or scheduled surgery, which has occurred in the past. And unfortunately the break was not caused by the numerous trips I’ve taken over the past few weeks. Truth be told – this break happened because I had no idea what to write about.

As I shared in the past, when I started blogging I feared the possibility of running out of things to write about. I was concerned about not being able to keep my momentum up with fresh and interesting topics to maintain and attract readers. I’ve read several writing guides that encourage putting “pen to paper” regardless of how I may be feeling. But, for me – this practice isn’t logical. I want everything I write to come from my heart – filled with passion and inspiration. I admit I have written posts because I saw it as a duty as a blogger to fill a page with words and share them. However, I am not proud of those words simply because they did not come from my heart.

I have a list of topics I’ve considered turning into blog posts, but they haven’t materialized into a finished product and I am not sure why. Oftentimes I wonder if I’ve come to the end of the road of this blogging thing or maybe this isn’t what I should be doing at all. Would it be prudent to give up now just because I’m clueless about what to write? Sometimes I review my “published work” and I am humbled by what I created. Have I already produced my optimal work or is the best still yet to come?

In spite of the pride I feel regarding what I’ve already created, I sincerely hope I have bigger and better within me waiting to surface. Besides – how can I inspire and encourage if I’m silent? And how can I be heard if I’m not sharing my voice. But more importantly, how can I reach new levels if I settle for where I am?

So, where do I go from here? I am moving to higher levels and deeper depths with the understanding that it may not be easy, but I believe it will be worthwhile.

As my number of followers seem to change by each passing day, I am grateful to those of you who have stuck with me and believed in my purpose.  I believe the best is yet to come and I hope you choose to continue to take this journey with me – let’s get more.

Until the next time, be you and most importantly – love you.

Being uniquely you is being uniquely beautiful.
