Wow! I can’t believe today is the last day of this year’s Slice of Life Challenge.
I have sliced every day and commented on the posts of slicers.
My writing evolved in ways that I hadn’t anticipated.
My #OLW for 2021 is evolve.
Most of this month’s slices were about changing and growing.
My #OLW for February was create, which seeped into March because that seems to be my greatest challenge: to create.
And, as I write, I’m realizing that all of the stories I tell myself about who I am and what I am capable of will continue to stop me from doing the one thing we are all put on this Earth to do: create.
We are all creators of some kind or another. And, each of us needs to find our own special contribution and leverage that as lovingly as we can.
As I work on evolving this year into the best version of myself, what I create will bear testimony to who I am and the gifts I bring to the world.
My sincerest hope for all of us, as we move forward into Pandemic Year #2, is that we uncover our special gifts and unleash them onto the world.
Who’s with me?

This line gave me so much to think about “As I work on evolving this year into the best version of myself, what I create will bear testimony to who I am and the gifts I bring to the world.” I could really linger with this thought, thinking about what I’ve created, what I’ve written does it truly share my heart, the person I want to be, the person I’m becoming? This statement can really be a reflective question. I love it!
