WELCOME!!!!!!


One of the reasons I called this blog The audacity of a dream is that I finally have the audacity to take my pages and move them to stages. The audacity to allow masses into what is by far my most vulnerable space; my writing. I've written since I was in high school, Grade 9 to be precise. It was a Friday and I decided to pick up a book by the library because there was a competition for readers that was to come by (Let's just say my English teacher had a lot do with this. Thank God he allowed me to take a book of my 'choice'. I was struck by the synopsis from a book by Wilbur Smith. It was a story that had to do with a female lawyer and some strange criminal. The reason the book struck me is that my childhood career was to be a lawyer, you know, those lethal ones.


Anyway, I started the book as soon as I got home and I never put it down. It was a brilliant first book. It’s safe to say that Wilbur Smith has played a huge role into what I have become; an avid reader. Needless to say, I finished that book in that weekend alone (for those of you that have seen the book, you’ll know how big it is). I wrote about the book, in hopes of entering the competition, but I didn't enter because I didn't think my writing was enough. But I have conquered that. I would like you to take a journey with me as I try to make you see life through, my sometimes flawed, vantage point. Make you roll your eyes at my cocky opinions and hopefully, convince you to log on again to read the next piece. I don't promise you rhymes, I’m not a poet,I’m just a thinker who loves writing. I must warn you though; I am quite an emotional writer.

One day, when I'm old, I want to be called a Word-smith. Well, until then...Do enjoy these words I've put together. All love!
