A God given talent is the mightiest of all skills. For whatever reason God gave it, the world cannot alter or remove it. No one person will possess it the way that you do because it is yours. Here's how you know if you have a God given talent...
If it comes about naturally
If you don't have to practice a lot to be good, and when you do practice your great
If you produce excellence when your not even trying to
If your service or creation uplifts others or serves the well-being of people
If its an undeniable task that beacons your soul both day and night
I write for days, yet I never considered myself a great author or writer.
When I compose my sentences they are grammatically correct and my paragraphs and ideas are well structured. Though I've never taken more than the mandated English classes.
At times I've written down my thoughts in anger, in the early morning, or just some random writing throughout the day that others thought was incredible. Many times I am only writing journals about what's on my mind, and its those pieces that win me accolades from my peers and brings tears to the eyes of others.
I often write about life and how we experience it. I write to bring forth awareness and to inspire change in some cases. I write about things that haunt my spirit, whether happy or sad, I must get it out as soon as it hits me.

The Ending is The Beginning: Part III
I stepped out on a path today,
And from the lighted area, I walked all the way to where it was dim.
I walked to the end of a lonely road.
No one existed there but me,
It was I that stood alone and made a choice.
As I walked this path I have been met with much adversity,
As well as joy, beauty and utter disgust.
I saw all parallels of life as I traveled down this path,
Friends, family, and advice have come and gone.
As I began down the path the light was bright,
And from the beginning I was happy.
The more I walked, the more the shade began to appear,
It became more and more as I walked to the end of the road.
As I stood at the end of the now lonely road, I made a choice.
I am content with the ending of this road,
Because the last step I take to end this dim road, starts a new step in the light of another.
My ending is my beginning!

The Ending is The Beginning: Part II
Some things in life weren’t meant to last forever but they were definitely intended to be, because everything happens for a reason. The good and the bad. Even so, we all have choices. And when in a situation where we are forced and may not be able to do divert at that point in time, choice will eventually dawn upon us whether it’s days, weeks, months, or even years down the line. That all goes along the lines of actions and reactions. Yes, unfair things happen in our lives, but again, it is our choice on how we react and what we take from our experiences….the good and the bad. But nothing lasts forever and if it does, it does not exist the same because time changes everything. Good or bad, that something will change shape, color, form, strengthen or weaken, dissolve or grow. Something is going to happen because it is the law of physics and human nature in general. So as we humans go through life and its situations, and making choices, we begin and end an infinite number of things from the time of our birth till the time we leave this earth.
Too often we attribute our new beginnings and fresh starts without giving reverence to our past. Good or bad, we begin nothing without first ending something. Too often we worry about things coming to an end and what’s going to happen in our lives beyond a certain point. We are scared to reach past what we can see or step out on faith because it is beyond our area of comfort. Yet we find comfort in the strangest things. We find comfort in alcohol even though it can destroy your body, we find comfort in people who tear down our spirits, we find comfort in drugs that kill our soul, we find comfort in abuse that simply destroys our minds, and we find comfort in false realities created by hands. We find comfort in the strangest things; we find comfort in the good or the bad. And so, when we begin life in situations, it’s often hard to see where they end or to wrap our minds around the idea of such, but…

A Good Day
Today was a good day in the Life and Times of Charlie. I pursued a new job and got an inquiry. It was the most exciting thing ever. The feeling of new was amazing. Haven't felt this type of passion in a while. I've become board with my story and lost complete interest in previous joys. Today was a breath of fresh air as I bring my nine months to a close. The sun rose just a bit higher and enthusiasm and ambition knocked harder at my door. As the day began and the emails started rolling in, I began looking more and more forward to what the day held. Now as I sit on the couch and its almost 8:30p.m. I want to to close my eyes and call it a day. Despite my eagerness to end this day, it was lovely and I did enjoy my good day!
