Assignment

“Write a post that builds on one of the comments you left yesterday.  Don’t forget to link to the other blog!”

Yesterday, after reading a Silver Threading blog post, I commented:

“Sounds interesting.  Think I will give it a try.”

Exploring and venturing, without fear, is how I wish to live in the present.  Keeping this in mind, I followed through and tried Lantern Poetry, which as defined in the blog post is:

“A type of poem that has one syllable in the first line, two syllables in the second line, three syllables in the third line, four syllables in the fourth line, and one syllable in the fifth line that is related to the first word of the poem.”

My first attempt at Lantern Poetry:

“Sad

Scared Cried

Left To Find

ME Now Life Back

Glad”

(SeasonedSistah2)

In earlier posts, more often than some may like to see, I write about this new journey to overcome fear and self-judgment as I seek to define ME.

By Defining and Expressing ME via this blogging platform, my space has expanded to receive and accept that:

• I Am Good Enough
• I Am Worthy
• I Am Loved

 

During this last season of life, I am on a journey.

Two years ago, I opened up and ventured outside of my comfort zone to redefine ME.  Daily, I explore and pursue new interests always seeking to bring happiness, love and tranquility into my space.

When I undertook this mission to find ME, overcoming FEAR has been my greatest challenge.  Because, FEAR has played a large role in my life, since childhood.

But I overcame the FEAR of breast cancer, chronic pain associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, and Sleep Apnea.

And, I will not allow FEAR to limit what I share on this blog.

My new mantra: FEAR has two meanings: “(1) Forget Everything And Run, or (2) Face Everything and Rise. The Choice is Mine.”

Blogging here I come ready or not!!!
