Part of my commitment to journal writing was and is to be open and honest about my feelings, my thoughts, my insights and embarrassments. You don't have to read a line twice to know if something is making me laugh, cry, ticking me off or just making me think. I've been debating how much of those feelings and thoughts to reveal in this blog.
A neutral, dry reportage of events chronicled in my NextStage journal will let you know things that happened and there is value in that type of reporting. But it is a "if a tree falls in a forest" type of thing. Reporting events neutrally may provide facts but success and failure isn't about facts, it's about responses and reactions to facts. I remembered that fellow KMM author and editorial assistant Kimberlee Morrison wrote about my blog, "Candor - I enjoy the relaxed and candid tone of this blog." and "Carrabis is open about his growth and it is quite endearing."
It was while looking up the link for that quote that I read the incredible story about Freedom Writers and Ms. Morrison's involvement in it.
And this woman thinks I'm candid? I am humbled, dear woman.
I've decided I'll state the factual lesson (as much as I'm able to neutralize it) above the break in my blog entries in this arc. Hopefully you'll decide from there if you want to click on the Continue Reading link to learn my response and reaction, and what I learned from it.
