As a budding writer, those are the definitions that jumped off the pages to me as I pondered commitment and goals: to pledge myself to the act of writing...To make a promise to myself to nurture and grow the writer within me by writing daily.
Those thoughts were the fruit of the ANWA retreat! The retreat was nestled in a grassy mesa up in Clay Springs. Inspired by the presenters, the sisters in attendance and the Spirit of the Lord, the seed was planted to write!
I learned so much from each of the sisters there! I was, at first, overwhelmed by the talent that was gathered under one roof....from presenter to participant. But very soon, the Spirit of Friendship, Encouragement, and Improvement took over!
