The Ten Lessons About Courage
Today I would like to share about the lessons I learnt about courage. When I say courage or bravery, I mean the same. There are many great books written about courage. Many of us speak about courage especially to those whom we presume are hesitating to perform an action for their well-being. We watch movies of our favorite stars doing heroic acts and we gain a sudden boost of courageous energy. The word encourage has the word courage in it. When we encourage someone, we are telling them to “take the step forward.” I remembered once a mystic teacher told me that courage comes from a latin root cor, and cor means heart. Hence, courage means living with the heart. Courage is never about being completely fearless. Courage is about moving forward in spite of the fears.

What's Your Story?
When I first started writing, I wrote alot of stories about fantasy adventures. Many of my ideas were based on things I'd read. I enjoyed fantasy and adventure, it took me out of the real world and into a fantasy world where I could escape reality. As I got older, I wanted more from my reading and writing hobbies, so I read many books based on true life experiences. In my life-time, alot has happened to me and my family. Child abuse, domestic violence, mental illness, homelessness and other forms of violence. I started writing journals, though out of anger, hurt and upset, I deleted those journals. I regret that today, because my life experiences can help others through a journey that was horrific for me. I needed an idea, so I could recreate those journals, however, many of my notes were lost along the way. I came up with an idea, what if I could rewrite my true-life story using fictional characters? I obviously couldn't use the real names of the people who abused me in my story, because that would cause more problems. I came up with my continuing story 'Carrie and Love.'

Love Yourself...but what about your Neighbor?
What is conscious living? Clever definitions and slogans abound in the self-help corners of new-age literature. I have long thought that if you are lucky enough to be awake in this world, the game of conscious living is to operate as yourself and to see the potential gift of every moment.

Reasons Why You Won't Succeed on Vocal
I've written for Vocal for almost seven months, and not one day goes by that I don't see these questions asked by fellow writers: "How do I achieve Top Story status? When will I be featured on the front page?" Well, I've come to the conclusion that one can't possibly know the answer.

How to Become a Writer
Look, friend. It's a lot easier to become a writer than you think. I promise. I had it stuck in my head for years that if I didn't write something that I felt was worthy of being published, I wasn't a writer. That belief is the biggest lie ever. All that you have to do to become a writer is just that: write.
