A Time of Growth

I have been having what I'll call "growing pains" for a lack of a better description. There have been, and continue to be challenges cropping up for me, but I am choosing to face them head on.

These challenges make me only more aware that my perception is my reality. Likewise, other people have their own perceptions of reality.

I am finding and learning my truth. Sometimes it is like we all have different sunglasses on so we see things a bit differently. I remember this in an advanced writing class. Four of us, all good friends swapped term papers on the same article in Atlantic Monthly. We each had written the paper according to our own truth, from our own angle. It was amazing to see how we could be good friends, with somewhat similar lives and yet have such different views!

I am reminded of this experience now as I write some copy for a friend's business web site, brochures and the such. My friend is a excellent writer... sometimes it hurts to change her words, because they are put together so beautifully. However, the slant is academic. Beautiful but still academic. She needs something that will sell and that is where I come into the picture.

Sometimes we all need an editor like this in life to help us see the events of our lives in a different light. The events are there, but if we can look at them from another angle, we can get a different picture of reality and a better understanding of our life.
