Happy New Year: May We Now Begin our adding our daily 500 words....

I feel like what I just wrote is a prayer.



I wrote 674 words in the ten minutes before 2011 came to an end on the East Coast. I live in California, not exactly East Coast but I am working my way across the country... HAPPY NEW YEAR CENTRAL TIME ZONE!


I wrote a Letter to YOU, my reader... on my Julie Unplugged Blog. Check it out here!


I mentioned Now Begin. It is my anthem, a poem I wrote back in 1999 that holds true today. I feel like it is the perfect kick off for WIP500...

Now Begin

Take away the degrees, titles, accomplishments –
What is discovered at your core?
What is it that unique, special spark?
Buried deep, neglected, chosen to ignore

Seeking to please whomever
Drowning out pure longings of your heart
Struggling, freezing, suffocating
Until finally, you choose to start

Whispers from the spirit
Soul's songs from deep within
After dancing, stranger among strangers
Claim it! Your life! Now begin!

May we now begin WIP500 together.

Respond to your soul's song deep within and I'll respond to mine.
