Thank you for hosting me on your blog. To tell you the truth, I am extremely envious of you right now. I can just imagine you sitting on the beach, a sun hat shielding your eyes, sipping a sweet drink, the kind with a little umbrella and a wedge of pineapple as a garnish, and watching a beautiful sunset. I love the beautiful artwork of the sun as it rises and sets on the horizon.
There have been times in my life when I have been on my way to work and I have just had to stop and drink in the sunrise. One day I stepped out of my little car and glanced over my shoulder. The sky was almost a translucent blue and the soft clouds were painted the beautiful orange-red you almost never find in an artist pallet. I had to stop and just watch as the colors shifted and deepened to the soft orange and pale blue of early morning. It took my breath away and allowed me to start my day with the warmth and beauty of morning in my heart. The sun’s constant circle reminds us to cherish each moment, love the little things, and find beauty in the world.
One of my favorite memories of my grandmother was sitting on the front porch of my childhood home and watching the sunset. We had pulled up two chairs and relaxed as we watched the light blue sky slowly turn pink, orange and red. The clouds floated across the sky like puffs of smoke slowly painting the horizon. Nothing can compare to the awe and silence a perfect sunset can bring to my heart. My grandmother and I didn’t speak for the entire time the sun was going down. We didn’t need to, the sunset said everything that needed to be said. Every time I see a sunset I remember the time I spent with my grandmother and the perfect communication we had between God, nature and a woman and a child. Sometimes words are not necessary.
My grandmother was one of my biggest influences in my writing. She always fancied herself as a poet and always wanted one of her grandchildren to become a published author. I was nurtured on her love for the written word and her influence led me to study the craft and develop the skills to be a writer. Even watching the sun rise and set was a lesson in writing. It’s impossible to watch the sun make its journey and not want to put it into words. Learning to put the images we see in our lives into words is one of the most important skills an author can develop. In order to become better writers I think we should all spend more time watching sunsets.
I know I haven’t spoken much about me and my writing today. I’m sorry if I am disappointing your readers by not telling them about my books and my life story. I will provide you with the blurbs and links so your readers can see what I’m all about. In the meantime I am going to check out a few travel sites and book some tickets to some tropical location where I can sip some fruity drinks under an umbrella and drink in the sunset.
