Seven years is a significant and considerable span of time in this changing and confusing world we live in and so I thought, glancing at the pile of previous issues of my Monday Mirror in my hand during one of my recent springcleaning stints around the house. This discovery caused me to pause from my feverish housecleaning endeavor, to sit down and read what I wrote and said on my Monday Mirror back then, seven years ago. Oddly enough, the reading or should I say, rereading turned out to be exceedingly interesting and more revealing than I dared to imagine. It’s as if after 7 years have lapsed, happenings and events have fallen into place and on the personal end, I would like to believe that the passing of time and age has mellowed, refined and smoothed out rough edges in my own beliefs and thoughts. And in that very moment, the idea for this new writing project flashed in my mind. Now after 2 months of germination, the seed has taken root.
This will I hope kick off fresh writing endeavours from my community of WordKnights. I fondly remember you – the group of us who met as the Wordknights in my home, to encourage and help one another keep the passion to pen alive in our hands and hearts. Though circumstances and distance have caused many among us to head off in different directions of the world, one thing I pray, my fellow Sojourners on Monday Mirror and fellow Wordknights, wherever you are in the world, can now connect with me on this blog and we will press on deeper to embrace the fuller revelation that needs to be unleashed by the power of the word in our lives.
It’s time I leave you with this thought that just crossed my mind – an original quote from me :
“To embrace life and live fully is to grow and realise what you truly believe.” Nellie Har
