The Daily Prompt has inspired me once again. Today’s prompt asks – tell us your favorite thing about yourself.
If you had asked me this question ten years ago I may not have been able respond. Sure, there were things about myself that I liked. I can sing pretty well, although I am too self-conscious to sing in front of anyone other than my dog. I was pretty talented when it came to making and decorating wedding cakes. But those things are just hobbies, things I seem to be able do with some sort of talent and things I enjoy.

During the past decade of my life, I seem to have gone through a metamorphosis, mentally and spiritually. I found my inner compass and steadily began to acclimate to the new direction I was headed. I found the courage of conviction to have a voice of my own. I found the inner strength to truly believe that the talents I possess are worthy of comments, and I found the determination to follow my dream of being a writer.
Good things happen when you finally believe in yourself and my first published magazine article will be out in May. That courage of conviction fueled the vehicle that led me here. I trusted my talent, and more than that, I trusted myself.
I let my true colors finally shine through.

Wonderful and congratulations.
Thank you!
Will it be online? I want a link to it if it is.
I’m not sure…I’ll keep you posted.
Okay. I’d like to read it if at all possible.
Absolutely!!
I can send you my copy from home later if you want to read it before it hits the big print. I’m pretty excited. I’ll probably take 100 copies and shove it at people I know!!
That’s fine if you’d rather do that.
It’ll look better with the magazine layout….I’m sure I’ll be babbling about it just before it comes out so I’ll send it to you then. It’ll be nice seeing something in print with my name on it!!
I imagine so. That really is exciting.
It sure is…and one of my curling buddies is going to send me some names of authors from the area who have been published so I can start getting some contact info. Super stoked.
Awesome!
Is it wrong that curling buddies sounds a little lewd to me? Yes? Dammit…
Not with the way your brain is wired. It’s part of your charm.
Woohoo!! I love charm!
And you’re full of it!! Sorry, had to….lame, I know. But it made me smile.
Full of “it?” It seems your last word was missing a couple letters, was it not?
Not at all. Would I ever tell you you’re full of shit? Nooooo…….
Shit? I was talking about grit!!! What the hell?
My bad. Fail.
You’re so mean! *cries stormtrooper tears*
Wow….I’ve never made a stormtrooper cry before. I’m really not sure how to feel about that.
Well I hope you feel terrible about it!
Sady, not really. I’m feeling pretty kick ass. Give me some ear muffs and I could be Princess Leia!!
Congratulations! 🙂
Thank you!!
Hey, being good at your hobbies is nothing to sneeze at. Most people love their hobbies more than their work anyway.
Congratulations on the magazine article!
If nothing else, I hope you scan it and post it!
Thank you! I’m pretty excited to say the least….and even happier that they didn’t have to edit the hell out of it. That makes me feel good as well.

yay you and congrats on getting your article published
Thank you so much!!
Awesome news!!! Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you!!
Thank you so much!! I’m pretty stoked.
Geesh I have no idea what my favorite thing about myself is, well done lol
Sure you do….write it out, it will introduce itself in the process. You have so many talents.
nah I only reveal myself secretly through fiction 😉
Haha….your choice. I’ll try to read between the lines (which I already do) 😉
mhm but which lines are you reading between 😛
I need a flow chart. I’m starting to feel like Spencer Reid from Criminal Minds….not saying you are a criminal…haha.
yikes, no I’m not, good thing I’ve never seen that show lol
Well, I certainly don’t have an eidetic memory, so no need to panic…haha
I don’t often panic, I’m pretty cool that way 😉
You seem that way….see….there is one of the things you should favor. Many people don’t possess the same sense of calm you have!
Oh I thought you meant that the favorite thing about me is how cool I am hahaa, but yeah, calm is good, until my Sicilian kicks in.
Note to self – stay on Sage’s good side!! 🙂
Ah you don’t need to worry about it 🙂
🙂
It’s amazing how many different takes there are on this topic. What’s the name of this magazine? Is it online or hard copy? Where can we go to have a peek at your article once it’s been published? Well done.
Thank you so much. I’ll be posting a link when it is published. Thanks for the kind words!
So glad you let your inner self free. Congratulations on the upcoming article and the rather large following you have developed here. Best Wishes!
Thank you very much. 🙂
