Why I Write

26 01 2011

I have recently doubted my choice of passions. I love to write. Writing makes me happy. It fills a void. And it is how I express myself. I write in my head all the time. In fact, some of my best sentences have come while out for a jog with the dog. I have now become accustomed to carrying a note pad and pen or my iPhone (with a handy dandy message app) for moments when the inspiration hits. I keep a pad by the bed, so my nighttime sparks of brilliance are not lost with a few more hours of sleep.

But recently I have wondered why am I trying to make a living out of this? Am I good enough?

So here is my answer. Writing, you can’t shake me that easily! I am here to stay.

Up until now, I have never had a “thing”. I have embraced sports, music, work but nothing has ever been my passion. I envy people who are driven by their passion as I have never been. Until now.

Writing drives me. And really, you know who I have to thank for that? Theresa Albert and her belief in me.

She has granted me the role of one of her bloggers for her new book – Ace Your Health. Through these first few weeks, I am rediscovering my voice. And I like what I am hearing (by the way, head over to www.myfriendinfood.com and read away – leave me a message there if you like what you read).

As a writer/blogger, I have been offered products to try and then write about. I struggle with this, as the swag is nice, but I don’t want to feel obligated to write about it or always give a positive review. I make that clear when I accept. So, when I say I love the products I tried from Hall’s Kitchen, I am saying that with the utmost sincerity.
I love the taste. I love the natural ingredients. And I love how fresh it is. I tend to not buy pre-made food, but Hall’s kitchen is different – for me and I will buy their soups, stews and sauces (www.hallskitchen.ca). I believe in what they stand for and how they prepare their food. I have since gone out and bought more products for myself and family members. Try them, your taste bids will thank you.

And so, I shall keep writing and hope that one day, my passion will turn into a well rewarded career.
