Shining a light on the good stuff

What's your Story?

Picture
I've been thinking a lot about my brand and my intention. Why do I write fiction? Why do I feel this urge to share my soul on the page?

Years ago I heard Oprah speak about intention. She said she sets her intention clearly in her mind before any action, meeting, whatever. Simply put, what do you want the outcome of any given situation to be? What do you want? Down deep.

Not to sound too Oprah like, but intention is everything.

What is your intention for today, for your work, for your life? What do you want?

When I first started writing seriously, I wasn't sure what I was trying to do, other than express myself in an artistic way. But now, at the ripe old age of closer to 50 than 40, it is quite clear.

I want to spread love in an active war against hate. Cheesy as it may sound, it's what I'm about. I do it with my stories, my words of kindness instead of derision, with my smile at a stranger in the grocery store, and with how I care for my family. It's what Heather and I wanted when we started this group: a safe place where women want to be loved and to love.

When I narrowed it down for myself and my brand...my story...it was simple. Spread love in an active war against hate.

So, if you feel comfortable, share with me your intention. It doesn't even have to be beyond today, but it's worth thinking about. What do you want your life to mean? What do you want your story to be?

xoxo
