Nope, not a book. Not a product of any kind. It’s emancipation day for me. Today is the day I woke up and knew I was over it. I’m over everything, and I’m not afraid to see what comes next. I literally do not want to struggle anymore, so I won’t. I don’t want to argue anymore, so I won’t. I don’t want to sacrifice, so I won’t. I realize I’ve been in some kind of struggle for the last 15 years of my 44-year life. That’s the last third of all my years! Imagine if my years were cut short tomorrow, is that my legacy? Pass!
I recently went through a writer’s slump, thinking it was a bad thing. But I came to the conclusion that I have nothing left to say. No more veiled attempts at telling my truth. The story is out there, it helped those it was meant to help, including me, and nothing else needs to be said. I totally feel like Tonya Dwan Shields, at my core. I’m looking forward to fun, laughter, vacations, possibilities. I’m looking forward to actually living. I know that comes at a cost, but it’s worth it, and my Heavenly Father has never let me down. He’ll show me how to pay for it and still be happy.
My new direction may pay for itself anyway. People always want me to write their story, and now I can. I’m available for hire as a ghost writer, interior designer, and consultant on all things creative. I’ll blog about what I see and hear, and produce shows about YOUR issues. I’ll write poems about single life and joke about dating. I’ll simply see where the wind blows me and write about that. Laughter, joy, peace–my current situation. See you in the funny pages!
