Sitting down to write for me is a difficult process. In the time it took to write that first sentence I thought about the placement of the words, and if saying “For me, sitting down to write is a difficult process” would be more poignant and fitted in conveying what I am trying to say. I’m trying to learn just to write. I’ve found that the more often I partake in the act of writ, the easier it becomes. I constantly re-read, tweak, and try to perfect. It’s a struggle that is detrimental to the off the cusp feel I hope to achieve one day, but I’m getting there…
I tend to buy books on subjects and read about them, rather than actually doing. One I purchased focused on blogging, while another book focused on embracing and utilizing Twitter. They were interesting reads, and I do feel like I’ve gained something from reading them, but at the end of the day I question what exactly I was trying to gain from them. Very small scale, but look before I leap perhaps?
I am currently about to take one of the largest leaps I’ve ever emleaped* on. I’ve been afforded the opportunity of a life time, to travel the land and be paid to do it. This opportunity does not come without responsibility however. I will be tasked with overseeing the day in and day out of three very talented individuals, together known as Barcelona. I can not begin to express how lucky and humbled I feel to have been given this opportunity. The coming weeks will be challenging, but I feel prepared to embark on this journey. Though I feel distant at times, I know that God has a plan for me, and no matter what I do in this life, I must do it in a manner to glorify him.
I look forward to the stories, lying in wait, ready to unveil themselves in the coming weeks.
