Thank You.
If you enjoy this or it resonates with you, consider supporting me as an independent writer and thinker by sharing it, becoming a paid subscriber for just $6/mo, or making a purchase from my store. Thank you and enjoy.
This year, one of my goals was to write every day and so far it’s going well. I have hit publish on something I have written every day this year! This is quite an accomplishment.
I have enjoyed writing for many years and have aspirations of being able to earn a living as an independent writer, speaker and teacher. But historically I have been very inconsistent in writing and sharing it with the world. I realized that if I had any hope of reaching my goal, I needed to become more consistent.
Thank you to those of you who find me and my work worthy of your time and your monthly financial support. Six dollars each month might not seem a lot, but you have no idea how much it means to me every time one of you goes from being a free subscriber to a paid one. So thank you. You could choose to spend your time and money on something or someone else, so I appreciate you spending them on me.
Although I am becoming more consistent, I’m nowhere close to reaching my end goal. As of writing this, there are 93 of you who receive my emails and 7 of you are paid subscribers. Thank you! Genuinely. Thank you for reading. Thank you for sharing my work with others. Thank you for supporting me as an independent writer.
My wife asked me why I don’t find a writing job if I like writing so much. My answer is that whilst I do like writing a lot, what I enjoy most is writing my own thoughts, ideas, feelings, and suggestions. It’s fun, challenging and even a little therapeutic.
I am growing and learning as a writer. I realize that not everything I think and write will resonate with each of you, that’s life. But I do hope that some of what I say is helpful, inspiring and makes you realize that you aren’t alone.
I wrote last week that I had been wrestling with my purpose in life. This is always going to be an ongoing wrestle, but let me share what I have come up with for now.
This is my purpose,
To increase faith in Jesus Christ and be a true disciple, to be a good husband and father, to nurture and improve my mind, body, talents, gifts, and relationships, and to help others do the same.
I want to be able to look back on my life and feel accomplished and content with how my life turned out. When I look back over much of my writing, I realize that lots of it centers on this purpose statement I have written. Moving forward I anticipate that my writing will continue to focus of faith, relationships, health, personal development and wellness.
I don’t ask very often because I love to write to and love to share. But I also have bills to pay, mouths to feed, and a few extras I would enjoy too. So if you value me and my writing, please consider becoming a paid subscriber today for just $6/mo. Would you be willing to buy me lunch if we went out together to Taco Bell? When you become a paid subscriber, that’s precisely what you’re doing!
If becoming a paid subscriber really isn’t an option for you, hitting the share button every time I publish something costs you nothing but a few minutes of your time, but it makes a massive difference for me. I am only one person trying to do his part to grow and spread my writing, if all 94 of us shared and invited just 10 other people to subscribe, my dreams would start to become a reality.
Thanks again for reading and supporting me. Have a fantastic weekend, I’ll be sending out the Sunday Summary with all the links for my articles this week tomorrow morning.
All the best,
