A New Voice

My vision for this blog was always to inspire the winner in each of us.  To encourage that dream, pull out that talent, give life to that seed that's waiting to grow into the future we want for ourself.  As part of that vision, I welcome a brilliant student writer, whose views, insights, and research will undoubtedly inspire the very best from you. 

HERE IS OUR SPECIAL GUEST BLOGGER: LESLIE D. VERNON

Putting oneself in words is hard to do. Do I talk about my diet of cheese popcorn and vitamin water? My love for cheesy movies and bad tv shows? The neurotic way I hum in the bathroom? None of these things encompasses all of me (or would particularly interest you). So I’ll keep it to the bare relevant facts (though I do accept bribes of cheese popcorn and vitamin water).

I love the written word. I started pretending to read and write at a very young age, just ask my mother. I did eventually learn to do these things, and do them quite well as a matter of fact. I loved to tell stories. This would get me in trouble occasionally (mmmkay, often).

As I grew older, I found myself drawn into writing. I used to have this container chocked to the brim with my writings. As I matured, rather than using just loose paper, I took to carrying a writing journal. If you see me out and about, I probably have it on me. As I wrote more, I also read more. I read constantly. I’ll actually read anything if it comes down to it. From the cereal box at the kitchen table to men’s magazines in the doctor’s waiting room, if I’ve got time to kill I’ll be reading.

I love to talk to people and get to what makes then tick and capture that. Share their light with the world.

So, in honor of all those great people, who led me on the right path. In honor, of the great females before and to come after me, I will be writing on this blog.
