LaCresha's Lens focueses on...January 1, 2015

This seems to be the theme of the New Year.  This photo hit Facebook on December 31, 2014, I couldn't help but repost it.  Mainly because for the first time in my entire life I am taking the steps to make my writing into a career.  It is scary staring down the road of future rejection and my vulnerability hanging out like a bra out to dry.
But, this is what we do when we chase our dreams.  This is the steps we take when we take a risk.  Isn't that what life is about?  Taking chances, taking a risk, going after what lies beyond the horizon as we shoot for the stars.  It is intimidating.  However, the life I have been living is not the life I want to continue.  Working for someone who does not appreciate me, who will yell at me, who goes off on power trips.  It is stressful and nerve racking.  However, the not knowing of "what could have been" gives me more fear and a depth of sadness I don't want to explore.  I am curious to see what this new year will bring, what it will deliver and if my hard work will pay off.

Here is day one of a 365 page book.  This blog will include short stories, articles and my 365 page book.  I hope you will join me for the ride, I don't know what lies ahead or what to expect, so tune in, turn the page and let's find out together!
