The Writer's Weekly


Happy St-Jean Baptiste Day everyone!

It is a holiday here in Quebec so I am not going to write my usual blog.

I feel too relaxed to really think about writers in the media. Anyway, there's no paper today to give me an idea so...I will write about freedom.

Freedom comes from within.

When you allow yourself to be exactly who you truly are you are setting yourself free.

This is something I have recently put into practice and the experiences I have had since freeing myself are huge.

I now understand why great minds throughout history have discussed inner freedom.

I think many of us have been in situations where we felt cloistered--a relationship that demanded sacrifice rather than giving unconditional acceptance, for example.

The question I asked myself was this: If I have to be someone else, act like someone I am not to live this life then am I really living at all?

The answer of course is: No.

I chose to live my life and no one else's. Why?

Because there's a reason why I am who I am and I want to know what that reason is.

Don't you?
