Is LIVING YOUR IMPOSSIBLE an event?

I always wanted to write my memoir and first started writing it about fifteen years ago.  I knew it would be healing having grown up in a crazy household.  I started one version and then got frightened, didn't like the memories that were surfacing and so I stopped.  Fast forward … five years later and I started again.  I was very busy at the time and so I stopped again.  A few years after that, I started again and stopped.  Two years ago, I committed to finishing my memoir… I had the cover designed and this time it was going to happen.  I was fortunate to have lots of work coming in at the time and it was good money.  So… I stopped the process one more time.

I took an extended trip to Hawaii and met many people who had unfinished book projects.  I also met a wonderful author who has many published books.  I thought it was interesting that I was connecting with authors, most of whom were struggling to finish their current book.  What a great mirror…  I believe life is a process and things do happen in their own time.

The subject matter of my book is very dark, painful to write and I know it is the hardest thing I will ever write.  I believe that by not finishing this book I am holding myself back.  I do know this...  And so… here we are…

As of today, I am nearly 12,000 words in and shooting for 65,000.  Today I choose to continue with the project.  LIVING MY IMPOSSIBLE is a process.  Today I swam.  I will write.  I will spend time with my family.  I will spend time with friends.  I will journal.  I will reach out to someone I haven't connected with for a while.  And at the end of the day I will look back and say… This was a good day.  I am moving closer to living my dreams and my impossible each and every day.
