| Don't Wait For Your Ship to Come in Swim out to it! |
In my morning reading today I came across this quote by Jonathan Winters: "If your ship doesn't come in, swim out to meet it."
There was another a day or too earlier that said something, "Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle." Abraham Lincoln.
In other words, the only thing that will create success, or create that book you've been waiting to write, or create some other printed words you dream to have written, is ACTION. There is no way around it if you don't put your butt in a chair and write - you will never publish a word. You need to banish all fear of failing, of making a mistake -- mistakes are the lessons of life.
This Frank and Ernest cartoon strip says it all. Frank is at the counter at an employment office he has a long long sheet of paper he is apparently reading from to the guy who is taking his application. The caption says--"I don't have any formal education so I brought you a list of the mistakes I've learned from."
Feel the fear and do it anyway is almost a buzz word nowadays, but it's absolute truth. Do not be afraid of mistakes, no one is perfect. Perfectionism will stall you in your tracks. Not that you should adopt a careless, reckless, not-give-a-darn attitude. You should do the best that you can do with what you have at this very moment and let the rest happen.
"You can never learn less; you can only learn more. The reason I know so much is because I have made so many mistakes," says Buckminster Fuller (a mathematician and philosopher who never graduated from college but received 46 honorary doctorates.

| I've been tagged |
Hi Everyone,
I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm going to try this, and see if it works. I was tagged by Linda LaRogue at Wild Rose Press, so I have to tell you six things about myself, then tag six people. That's the fun part.
1. My husband and I have been married 31 years.
2. I love to read and travel.
3. I have a love-hate relationship with writing. Grinning.
4. I have been to Egypt
5. I worked 36 years for Trans World Airlines (TWA)
6. The Catalyst is my first book to be published.
These people have been tagged: I apologise to all those excellent writers I missed. I went with people whom I not only like their work, but they have become friends.
1. Heat of Battle by T.J. Killian, a short, hot story.
2. Never Forget Again by Emy Naso, a lovely story teller.
3. Shahzar: Last Queen of Kaladia by Anastasia Rabiyah. Haven't read the story, but have read excerpts. Sounds great.
4. September Heat by Diana Castilleja, on my TBR list
5. No More Secrets, No More Lies by Marie A. Roy. The excerpts I read sounded intriguing.
6. Wicked Weekend by Rene Walden. Another short story that sounds like a satisfying read.
There were so many more I wanted to add. Sorry, Tara. Some other time for you.

| You Are Better Than You Think You Are! |
Well Okay, perhaps we don't even begin to live up to our potential. I was reading an article by a gal named Melissa Galt today--Her great grandfather was Frank Lloyd Wright famed architect, her god mother Edith Head -- do you know she was a teacher and it was a couple of her students sketches that started her on her career as the designer of Hollywood fame and fortune. Well Ms Galt's mother was Ann Baxter...talk about blue blood - okay so maybe she wasn't rich - certainly Mr. Wright wasn't rich when he died -- he said he would rather have the luxuries of life then the necessities {grin} and Ann Baxter wasn't rich by the time she died -- but Ms Galt had a vision, and her mind was rich with possibilities and she followed it.
Some psychologist - James Joyce I think? said that we use less then ten percent of our brain - can you imagine if we engaged that whole mass what wisdom, what creative talent, what potential we would have to be as great as our greatest relative, whoever that might be.
Stretch yourself - stretch your mind - grow into what you might become. I double dog dare you to = )
