A Note to the Readers
December 6th marks the 1 year anniversary of “The Illuminated Voice.” For those of you who have subscribed, read weekly or are reading for the first time, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

A New Perspective – Lessons from My Month of Writing – Part II
My month of writing was my intention to go home for one month to write the last piece of my solo show. While home, I quickly learned that my purpose for being there was beyond my intention. I am very reflective and can always see all sides of any issue, but that month taught me…
The Master Shift – Lessons from My Month of Writing – Part I
My month of writing was my intention to go home for one month to write the final piece of my solo show, (which is about the three hardest moments of my life). The weeks leading up to that time, I noticed moments from my past that popped up and surprised me. I didn’t know that…
A Life All It’s Own – Month of Writing – Reflection

Heal First, Write Second – My Month of Writing
“I think you need to let God heal you, before you write,” my college mentor told me. My first week home has revolved more around re-connection then writing. Each time I sat to write, I couldn’t write. I tried different ways to start writing and still a blank page. I grew frustrated that I focused…
Wisdom Wednesday #3 – The Journey
Happy Wednesday! It’s only been two days of My Month of Writing. I am writing, but not what I came home to write. I think I put too much pressure on myself. I am resisting. I know I am resisting, even though I mentally prepared myself to write this specific story this month. I…
