LJ Idol: Introduction

[jenny_evergreen]

Just because you are good at something doesn't mean it is your life's calling. It took me a lot of years to finally learn that. I'm a good writer. I have always been a good writer. Sometimes I've had brushes with great writing, but we'll stick to calling me a good writer; not because I'm humble, but because I am well-read and know perfectly well

The poem is absolutely beautiful, what a way with words you have :)

[jenny_evergreen]

Thank you. Sometimes, I tap into the right vein and something lovely happens. :)

[jenny_evergreen]

Thank you! I love that bit, too. Nice to meet you. :)

I am a huge fan of poetry! I hope there is more this season!

[jenny_evergreen]

No idea if I'll write any, but I imagine the odds are good someone will. :)

Nice to meet another UU. I was looking into attending seminary for a while, but then I got pregnant and shifted some life stuff around.

Nice to meet you! I concluded back when that small children and ministry were not things I wanted to try to combine, which is why I backed off back when and had my kids and did the SAHM thing instead. Now that my youngest is about to enter kindergarten, becoming a minister is a much more feasible option. I hope you are happy with the shifting you did!

I feel the same way about my writing vs. talking to people in person. Much prefer writing!

I've been working really hard at trying to make my speaking mirror my writing, and I am getting better, but I think writing will always be where I am most comfortable.
