“There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when circumstance permit. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses, only results.” ~ Anonymous

“When work, commitment, and pleasure all become one and you reach that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible.”    ~  Anonymous


I started this blog because it is something I have wanted to do for a very long time, and yet here it is over 2 weeks after I started it and I am only posting for the second time. It isn't that I haven't been thinking about it. It isn't even that I haven't sat down to write on more than one occasion only to delete the little that I wrote and get up and walk away leaving an empty page. So what has been missing? Why haven't I been posting at least once a week like I thought I would? What is going on? I have been asking myself these questions and more, and what I have realized surprised me; firstly, I have used my perfectionism as an excuse to not post (as in - that isn't good enough, I need to say more or do more), then I realized I didn't make a firm commitment to myself and I didn't clarify for myself the question, "What is the reason I am doing this?"

Excuses are not going to keep me moving forward. Fear is not going to keep me moving forward. The passion for the work is what inspires me. The love of creating is what moves me. My quenchless quest for understanding people, truth, light, art, and curiosity about what makes the world tick is what drives me to sit at this computer, write here and beseech you to share your thoughts with me.


This blog for me signifies a step into a new chapter in my life; one that is about my commitment to art, truth, integrity, creativity and reaching out to the world. There are so many things I want us to talk about. There are so many things I have to say, and I want to hear. I invite you all to comment, post a poem, a thought, a short story, or whatever speaks to you in the moment. I am committed to being here. I am committed to begin this journey. I reach out to you, and ask..........

What is it you are committed to?
