It seems as if at the beginning of every year, something happens - a change is foisted upon me. Usually the change hits me unexpectedly. This year though, I half expected it.
Wright Words of Wisdom, my weekly column in the Trinidad Guardian Newspaper's Womanwise magazine was cancelled to help deal with the economic slowdown. That's their story and they are sticking to it.
My heart skipped a beat as I read the email from the editor, but I recognized the opportunity to rise from the comfortable place I'd been sitting and stretch my writing muscles. In fact just about three days earlier, I enrolled with the Writer's Bureau for their Journalism course. Even as I wondered if journalism is my cup of tea, I embrace the chance to try something new - a shift in how I approach my writing, the topics I select and the journey out of my comfort zone.
Starting over in this case, is a welcomed opportunity and I embrace it with open arms.
