truth (write it)
write your truth . soul mantra locket
I'm sitting in my favorite Starbucks, the one with the big windows looking out on 6th avenue that seem to let in just the right amount of light to push me to write write write. We keep coming back here almost every Sunday because I am convinced this light is magic somehow.
As I eat bits of lemon poundcake and drink coffee because the air is wonderfully crisp today, I'm answering a few interview questions about why I do what I do. And in the midst of that, I'm reminded again that I come here to this silver box and write the truth so that I will know, so that perhaps you will know, that we are not alone.
Where do you write your truth? In a journal? On your blog? Through your photographs? Where does the truth come out in your world? Or does it feel trapped within you? Do you share it? Why? Why not?
Today, take a moment to think about what stories are waiting within you waiting to be told...and know that the next time you decide to put pen to the page that you are not alone. Just keep putting pen to the page and, as my friend Jen says, "Just be true."
Blessings,
Liz

I read this quote today and it rang true to my today in a way I'm still trying to work out. =D
"Everyone thinks writers must know more about the inside of the human head, but that is wrong. They know less, that's why they write. Trying to find out what everyone else takes for granted." -Margaret Atwood
i love this post liz. i write my truth in my journal. i have to get out what is in my head out onto the page.
my stories are about love and my relationship and all that it teaches me, im only 23 and im learning so much about love.
my relationship with my boyfriend has been the biggest teacher of all, its a roller coaster ride, wild, exhilarating and deeply painful at times.
being in a relationship / being in love is a very complex thing. so beautiful yet so so hard.......this is my truth i want to tell you today xo
I deeply love this! I really was struck (in a good way!) by the question and idea of writing my truth in my photographs. I had not thought/phrased it like that and I love it! Thank you for your wisdom and your truth!
