The Begining. Here we go again!

It's been a while since I last wrote something that wasn't a report to determine someone's fate in Court (I'll explain later), an email or to update a Face Book status.



In fact, it's been eight years.


So what has finally dissolved this writer's block? Restlessness to begin with.... I remember when I first started out as a junior cadet at my first journalism job with the Samoa Observer Daily Newspaper in Samoa. One of my mentors at the time had pointed out to me, "You have ink in your blood Josephine". I didn't quiet understand him at the time (I was only 21 years old). I remember thinking that it was the most sensational thing that someone had ever said about me and my writing abilities. A few months back, eight years later, I began to fully understand, more importantly, believe, what my dear old mentor had meant.


I was starting to get the itch. Thoughts were literally running through my head faster than I could comprehend them, or even remember. Ideas were flowing from my inner brain banks, (more like overflowing), but only to break into a puddle on an invisible floor in my mind. There was nothing there to capture the smooth, gentle warm lava of thoughts, words, ideas and feelings that were oozing out of me. Sleep was coming hard. My body was exhausted but my mind had far too much going on inside it's cradle of my (beautiful) head. Activity other than my normal circulation was definitely brewing in my veins. And then it dawned on me.


It is time. That time that I knew in my subconscious would be inevitable. When the ink running through my veins would finally come alive.


It has abandoned it's dormancy state, to take over Me once again. The ink and I are one, in body, soul and heart.


Somewhere, deep within the depths of my mind, I must uncover a writer that had once had so much passion for the writing arts. A writer who lived to feel the love between words and feelings. A writer with the makings of an exciting craftsmanship of expressions of the heart and mind, by spinning words with experience and imagination.


Let the journey begin, to uncovering Me. AS with any journey, there is always a Past, Present and a Future. I am excited to share and make connections through my journey with words and love. Expressing the passions of my journey from where I came from, to now, and to where I'm going. Spinning a voice to the beliefs of my heart and adding fuel to the voiceless woes of my environment and community.


Welcome to my blog. I hope you'll enjoy the ride, as much as I do.


Fa'afetai.


Josephine.
