I have finally, FINALLY made it my vacation my friends!

It has been one hell of a long haul to get here.  And I’ve had headaches all weekend.  Yesterday’s headache was so bad I took a pharmacy of meds before it finally went away.

I don’t know if that is all the stress pouring out of my body or if it truly was the impact the weather was having.

So much has been happening and as I now sit back and put more perspective onto my writing, I am finding that, once again, I want to write!

I finished the Life Coaching program this morning and I now have my certificate.  I am a Certified Life Coach.  In finishing the work I did the 50 Questions for finding your passion and Writing was repetitive for me throughout.  If going through the program taught me anything it’s that it’s incredibly important to go after what it is you want.  Yes, finding who you are and your core values is incredibly important because it gives you direction and teaches you not to settle.

I have had an overwhelming crashing of writing ideas in my mind over the last 12 hours or so and I’m struggling because I suddenly need to do something about it.  I got some excellent story starters Friday from Reedsy and a number of them I could put to good use.

This is what my vacation is about… this is what my de-stressing time is about.

Next weekend I’m going to the trailer come hell or high water.  I hope to get some me time for writing… we’ll see.

For the time being I have to run with what’s on my mind.

For you… try this:

While sorting through some old keepsakes, you find an envelope with your name on it that hasn’t been opened. You recognize the handwriting.
