I just learned a big lesson when it comes to the power of "asking". Here’s the story:
WRITING RESEARCH
I’m working on a writing project for an upcoming book about a teenager who loves Track and Field. I’ve begun doing some research and took a trip (on Friday) to the NikeTown store on 57th street in Manhattan to help me visualize certain aspects of the story. I went to the store looking specifically for a adjustable Running Vest, which I saw online at Nike.com. The store itself is pretty amazing and the atmosphere is rather addictive.
This is my greatest struggle in life… to overcome mediocrity.
I feel myself constantly at the window of opportunity… able to look out but unable to fully break through.
On the other side of that window is an existence I have imagined my whole life - every day - every breath - every heartbeat…
Even now as I write - tears fall from my eyes because I know the desire is strong to be free.
The first of four installments of the Rwanda-Burundi Chronicles is now up on my Transition Unleashed blogsite! Why is it there? Because I realized, from spending the last two weeks in Rwanda and Burundi, that the people of these two countries are experiencing on a large scale many of the same issues of transition that are addressed in my book. With this being the case, I’ve tied in some selected writings from Transition, that relate directly to what I experienced in Central Africa. So read it and let me know what you think.
