Being described by those who know me well is humbling and evokes affectionate sentiments if the chosen words resonate with and celebrate me. The latest seeing of me, by a close and dear friend whom I call a sister because we are on a similar mission, crystalised the reason why I write.

This friend shared how she knows me to be attentive and observant. I am this way to what I am experiencing, in addition to what is happening around me. She felt that this is driven by my innate ability to be empathetic. I notice, observe and then actively attend to what I am processing.  I can be an advocate for what needs to be done. This is not new to me.  I know that I tend to get sucked into doing what I feel I am called to take care of even without being asked. However, what resonates deeply is the fact that this is somewhat tiring and I am fast approaching the end of the road. I can no longer attend to everything that pulls at my heart strings.

The epiphany for me is realising that I can make a significant contribution through my writing. Not only would it allow me to process what I experience, but it would also inevitably reach and touch the lives of those who read it. This is a platform that helps me to hold back from doing.  I will attend to what needs to be said and considered. I promise to do this on this site: my blog. I want to write reflectively so that others can read about and resonate with what I care about when it comes to life and living.
