I also see in this situation something very affirming which is you 'knew' deep in your heart that you needed to move on this.

You're living your dream.

(Loved "Muerte" & Meryl, the other couple was ok). It's your comments about being published that struck a chord in this post.<br /><br />I was reminded again tonight that everything new that I could ever share has already been said. It's frustrating to come along a generation or two after everything meaningful has been discovered. I realize that statistically, that can't be true, but the competition of ideas inherent in every facet of today's world squelches nearly every creative, artistic yearning I may have been born with. I feel such kinship with many different "firsts" that their discoveries/accomplishments seem almost mine, but they've already opened that door & been followed by so many others. I avoid crowds whenever possible.<br /><br />Regional success seems like all anyone who maintains their integrity can hope for in today's world, & I'm sorry, but an Anita Stansfield or other "Wasatch Front" phenomenan doesn't cut it for me as success to aspire to. There's such a glut of words out there, I'm left speechless. <br /><br />I'd still love to read your novel, if you ever get around to it & really love reading what you write when I actually get on here. I admire the care you seem to give to your inner author. It just stirs things in me sometimes that cause me disease in my current situation with so very little time for self-examination. The quote that's stayed with me long after every other detail of the movie "Bull Duram" was erased from my mind is "The world was made for those who aren't cursed with self-awareness." Keep fighting for whatever is pushing you. Myself, I'm not even going there...Amy T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16041855563735344473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-12045495902247956422010-01-03T20:16:51.679-07:002010-01-03T20:16:51.679-07:00Firstly--I am so glad you and Mel are friends...I ...Firstly--I am so glad you and Mel are friends...I adore her and I think you are fantastic. I love that you "know" each other.<br /><br />Secondly--I am floored by your list, so many good things!! Huzzah for you. (Can one publicly "huzzah" a list of spiritual improvements? Will I get struck by lightning for being irreverent?)<br /><br />xoxheidikinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00525478381785640543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32806324.post-78455525643661531332010-01-02T10:50:16.542-07:002010-01-02T10:50:16.542-07:00It seems that Elder Scott's talk hit a chord w...It seems that Elder Scott's talk hit a chord with many of us. I recently spoke in my ward about the importance of learning to hear the voice of the Spirit. I believe that the Spirit speaks to us in many, many different ways and that learning to understand how the Lord communicates with us is a lifelong process - perhaps the most important learning process of this life.Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03338949204492816733noreply@blogger.com
