Clarity
Over the past few months I’ve had some major decisions to make and one of them included a major surgery that I could no longer put off. Another decision involved my writing; whether to give it up or continue. In regards to self-publication, it can and at times, is very difficult. You are responsible for everything; the manuscript, the book cover, editing, formatting, publication and promotion.
I had come to the conclusion that working full time in my very stressful job as a dialysis nurse with unsure hours and my writing were pushing me to the edge of a mental mountain, ready to jump off. But then, a stranger from a local church that I visited, gave me some very simple advice. She told me to pray for Clarity.
Clarity! Immediately a smile formed on my face and I looked at her and said, “I like that!” She went on. “Ask for 2020 vision on what you should do for the New Year.” How simple and yet so powerful. For the rest of the day, I allowed her words to soak in as I pondered how to make it my goal for the year.
So, there you have it, my new buzz word-clarity. It will be my reference when I get stuck regarding a decision or before I take a negative statement to heart. I’ll use it as my pause button to seek out meaning and in the pros and cons of any choice I plan to make. What about you? What is your buzz word for this, the start of a New Year?
