Acceptance

-
When I stopped writing The Colie Chronicles, I missed writing with every fiber of my being. But I felt I couldn't start another blog until I had something different to say, and a brand new way to say it.

And nothing came.

What I realized is that I don't have to be different. I may change and evolve and grow, but I won't ever lose the humor in my writing, because that is truly who I am. I have lots of other parts to me as well, but humor is at my core, especially when I write and tell a story. That is the authentic me.

What I have done in starting over with Finding Nicole, and letting go of Colie, is to recognize that how I write (simply, honestly); what I write about (my life, and anything from death and divorce to relationships and just how much I love snacks); and who it's for (me, and anyone else who enjoys it), is perfectly okay.

Self-acceptance.

I'm working on that shit like Oprah works on counting her billions and Super Soul Sundays.

    In Psychology they talk a lot about rediscovering who you are with each stage of your life, it's very much about finding out who you are as a person in relation to the context of your life at that time. I think this is a brilliant idea and I can't wait to read more. :)

      I absolutely love this Ky. I've done a lot of "rediscovering". It sounds so much better than I was temporarily insane. :-)
