Reflections

"I was dreaming when I wrote this. Forgive me if it goes astray." Prince

As I reflect on what the year 2008 has been, I find that I'm just slightly floating above myself watching all of the past events unfold. There was Barack and bailouts. Bill Gates stepped down from his daily duties on my birthday and Heath Ledger turned out an astral performance as The Joker. But there was so much more. I took a long, hard look in the mirror and discovered a remarkable woman looking back at me. She had been through so many changes in such a short space of time- that I marveled at her talent for survival.

Now, I know I promised to keep it real with the readers, but some things are just too personal to share. Others you can find throughout my previous posts. I will say this, though. I managed to regain my footing after a year and half of several knockdowns. None of it was simple. All of it was challenging. Starting this blog was one of things that I did to keep my wheels turning and not continue with a downward spiral. I find that when I write I am able to exorcise those demons that can take up residence in an otherwise peaceful mind. It's the only thing that makes hours slip by like virtual seconds. It is my life's work- even if the compensation is not (yet) monetary.

Honestly, I started writing this with quite a downtrodden feeling. There is something about New Years Eve that makes you think the entire world is having more fun than you if you're not out and about. But the truth is I needed this time...this quiet to reflect on everything the past year brought to me and everything I plan to bring to 2009. So it matters very little where I am at the stroke of midnight. What is of the utmost importance to me is continuing to grow as a writer and as a woman. No longer the little girl that everyone wants to look at and no one cares to listen to. I found my voice. Many doors have been closed. New windows have been opened. I am thankful for everything and everyone that has brought me to this wondrous world of awakening and calm place of understanding.

I live. I love. I write. I am.


Flaws and all,
Jayne

Do it babes! You are destined to be a very significant personality in the creative world. Don't let anything/anyone disturb that.

Hey, you know Soups is always in your corner so worry about nothing. I didn't tell you this before, but I have certain super powers that turns fantasy into reality. So just peep me as your Genie & tell me your dreams. Before you know it you'll be living in WonderLand & vacationing in Atlantis.

Point is, just keep on climbing Jane & save a spot for me when you get there....I'm right on ya 4" heels. One Love Ms. Neverow.
