Vociferous: June 2013

Listen. Think. Speak. Write. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. So, I had an epiphany. . Okay, fine, not really because this isn’t something I didn’t already know but hey, reminders are always good. Remember how in my last blog I talked about how my friend told to get over my competitiveness in regards to running races because “Someone will always be faster? That means I will probably always be faster than someone else, too. . I admit that at first the competitive monster in me rejoiced. . Tuesday, June 11, 2013.

Listen. Think. Speak. Write. Tuesday, May 26, 2015. Sometimes it goes away. It didn't. I didn't want to stop and walk because I was coming up to a spot on my path where folks could see me, and I didn't want to admit defeat. Embarrassment can be such a powerful motivator. So, I keep going. I ran some. I walked some. I stopped and did some tricep dips. I ran some more. Etc. Eventually, I made it home. No stellar time. Probably more like 4 miles total. But I tried. An...There are always going to be stitches...

Vociferous: Falling
http://tclasen.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-first-wednesday-of-month-brings.html
Listen. Think. Speak. Write. Wednesday, July 1, 2015. The first Wednesday of the month brings another Insecure Writer's Support Group Pos. I just finished a book I loved from start to finish. I've read around eight books this summer, and I liked several quite a bit, but this was the first one that I did not want to end but couldn't stop reading at the same time. So, why these words, why this plot, why these characters? But then I think, "I could never write that so why bother? Have I said that before?

http://tclasen.blogspot.com/2015/08/words-are-such-amazing-thingstricky-too.html
Listen. Think. Speak. Write. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Words are such amazing things—tricky, too. The very fact that we've used these arbitrary symbols to create such a complex system of communication is fascinating. Language seems so simple now, right? And wonderful. How do you feel when someone utters three easy words, "I love you? Except think of the trouble words get us into. The misunderstanding, the confusion, the anger. What would it mean to move from wanna-be to "writer? I'm a mom even if I'm no...

Vociferous: Be a tree.
http://tclasen.blogspot.com/2014/11/be-tree.html
Listen. Think. Speak. Write. Friday, November 7, 2014. 8220;Sometimes it’s good to be the tree.”. The other night, we read The Giving Tree. As usual I cried. I’m not sure I have ever read that story without tears streaming down my face. I don’t think I’d read it since becoming a parent though. Bill looked at me and suddenly said, “Oh he wrote that book about his mom, didn’t he? 8221; It made so much sense. Some people get mad when they read The Giving Tree. I like being a tree.

Listen. Think. Speak. Write. Thursday, March 27, 2014. 160;Instead, I choose to think maybe its all reinforcement. So, the next lesson isnt really new, but I appreciated the reminder. Lesson #2: Rejection can be a good thing. Of rejection if you want to know how crappy it feels. Thursday, March 13, 2014. Im just going to pretend it hasnt been months since I blogged. Id appreciate it if youd play along in my denial. Moat of you already know that I started out the year by accepting Jen Linnans.
