I hear people say they love to write, and I think they are different from me. I can't say I love to write. I do it. That's it. To be honest, it must be a gift, because it flows through me like water through a sieve. It comes easily and when I read it back, months or weeks later, I think, "Did I write that? Holy smokes!" It is like a wind that comes through me and then leaves. I guess that makes it a gift. I need to stop seeing it as something to be strangled and tamed and nailed down and turned into money. Thank you so much for this post.
Dear Rose: WOW! that's so profound and thank you so much for sharing so authentically! My hope is that others will see themselves in what you've discovered and experienced and have the same aha moment - that writing is a gift that they already have! Cheering you on! And Happy New Yeae!
This is lovely, Magdalena. Today, this was a gift to me. I needed to hear it and your practical "fill in the blank" sentences are a great way to get us really thinking about what our gifts are. Happy New Year. Blue💙
I really appreciated this. Thank you for going down this path and illuminating something that is easy to miss in ourselves. It feels like a thoughtful way to close out 2025 and head into 2026. This feels like a great thing to reflect on in meditation, and it helped give some direction and clarity to that reflection. Well written and genuinely resonant.🙏
Dear ZakG: Thank you so much! I'm thrilled that it resonated with you! And I love your idea of reflecting on your gifts in meditation. Wishing you a very Happy New Year!
