Grateful

 I started these posts as expression of gratitude.  I am writing this piece as a reminder of my why.

Thank you all for changing my view…

As I contemplate contextual purpose, I am considering blogging as a good fit for such an evolving purpose tailored to my current life. Blogging is transitioning me to a professional writing career one blog at a time while acting as a conduit for one of my core values: writing. Writing is both a personal and eventually a professional value because: It facilitates knowledge and experience documentation (through journaling), giving me an opportunity to possess more than intelligence of one moment (The Discipline of Finishing: Conor Neill at TEDxUniversidaddeNavarra, You Tube Video, starting at 14:12 mark) It promotes creativity and self-expression through language.

I believe it lets me create a virtuous circle in which the purpose cre...
