with your feet in the air and your head on the ground

I don’t know how long I’ve been saying that I wanted to start back writing in this thing again.  So here I am…again.  1 semester of college down, 9 to go.  I have officially changed my major to Elementary Education/Special Education.  I’m 100% satisfied with my decision and think that it will be a rewarding job to have.
I’m almost done writing my story that I’ve been working on for almost 2 years (yeah, I know).  I think it’s actually going to end up being better than I expected.  Everyone that I’ve let read it keeps telling me that I should try to get it published eventually.  I guess I’ll see about that once it’s complete.  But just for a little synopsis:  If you’ve ever read The Little Prince or Jonathan Livingston Seagull, that’s the feel I’m going for.  I wanted to create a story that people of all age groups could read, understand, and enjoy.  For the younger readers, it would be an imaginary tale of talking trees and birds who form a friendship.  To older readers, it would be insight for their own life and tiny tidbits that we should all remember when times are tough.  The 2 characters are Oakley (the tree) and Skye (the bird).  They form a quite unusual friendship linked together by their “weaknesses” which actually become their strengths.

I’m so excited to finish it.  I still don’t know exactly what the outcome will be, but it will soon be discovered.

P.S. anyone–anyone out there who may stumble upon this, I urge you to listen to Jonsi’s song Boy Lilikoi.  It will change your life, I swear.

Au Revoir.
