We do things with a lack of judgement sometimes but when we learn from those, it can make an improvement in our lives. All we hope is that the mistakes leave a positive impression rather than a permanent scar.

Strength Of The Letter “F”
The power of faith, family and friends are immeasurable – they provide eternal hope, unconditional love and tremendous support
Mark’s Musings #31
When the world says you can’t, listen with deaf ears and do whatever it takes to make it happen.
Writing Is…
Writing is…
a place where you can be you
and do your thing
it’s a place that makes you feel safe
and comfortable
a place where you can invite your family, friends
and even strangers to come join you
a place where your work is considered magical
because you’re able to create
something fantastical from nothing
So make time to take time,
to be in that happy place
where you write
to your heart’s content
Mark’s Writing Motto #31
If you want to be a writer, put everything into it and don’t hold back. Half-hearted feelings won’t convey your true message.
Mark’s Musings #30
Once you put wisdom and will on top of perseverance, you have the true formula to reaching your dream.
The Versatility Factor
Versatility is paramount to being a writer
If you strengthen this ability,
through your own choice of words,
you’ll be able to convey your thoughts
to like minds,
to the rigid thinkers,
to the uninformed,
to the sages and to the young
Having the skill to write anything
for anyone is truly a magical feat
So be open to dabbling in the unknown
once in awhile
and add versatility
to your writing repertoire
Stay True
A writer
who is true to their craft
must
stand by their words
and
own it
Believe
in your heart of hearts
that it was meant
to go out into the world
for all to read
Mark’s Writing Motto #25
As a writer, make your words explode from your heart.
What Keeps Me Going
When life’s obstacles
put my back against the wall,
what keeps me going…
my family
When challenges arise
and I have nowhere to turn,
what keeps me going…
my friends,
When darkness overcomes me
and there’s no hope in sight,
what keeps me going…
my faith
When the road is long and hard
and I feel like quitting,
what keeps me going…
my confidence
Living every day
is another opportunity
for me
to go for everything
I want and dream of
So never give up
When life brings you down
ask yourself,
“What keeps you going?”
