Enjoy Living in the Now. Act Spontaneously. Embrace the Unknown. Love His plan.
I started working on a life motto toward the beginning of 2010, at a time when I needed to rediscover and explore the foundations which ground me. In an effort to track my progress and talk out these actions items with myself and others, I started writing in the blog that you read here, titled simply “megdanielle.”
My first three action items (Enjoy, Act, Embrace) were born out of necessity and an intense feeling that I was missing out by holding myself back. The fourth (Love) is a 2011 addition which I hope you could see coming from my 2010 discoveries. It is not a motto merely for times of bliss, although the year has brought me that, but rather it is a motto which needs to be reiterated in the highs and lows of life – so much so that it becomes a habit of thought – so that when life gets dark, we will not forget to look toward the light of hope.
What I do know, is that whether stumbling, soaring, crawling, or running through this life, I have found that chronicling my adventures here brings an awareness to my actions which I might not have otherwise. Writing exposes me, keeps me honest, and keeps me positive. It reminds me where I have been, where I am, and where I am going.
And if you didn’t gather, I’m the Meg Danielle of megdanielle.
Thanks for dropping in.
Hi,
I saw your blog posted on facebook and so I decided to check it out. I really enjoyed reading some of your posts and I’m glad that you are pursuing your passion for writing in spite of your accounting degree. Don’t give it up. I decided on a career in English and Theatre and people frequently ask me, skepticism in their eyes, what I plan on doing with a useless degree, or they tell me that I’ll be working in a coffee shop for the rest of my life, but I figure that there is always room for well-written works in the world. Keep on writing!

Thanks for the encouragement!
These paths definitely aren’t mainstream. But I’d like to think that makes it much more important that we pursue them – whether or not we find fame or fortune – because if we’ve got the passion for poverty, we’ve got something special in us! 😉
You have my support! Keep me up to date with what you’re up to. I’d love to see where your path leads you!
