Publishing Life! :)

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     Every year the National Council of Teachers creates awareness about writing with the hashtag #WhyIWrite. We all have our reasons, or not to write. The very reminder calls us to reflect and point our attention to this act. If you search the hash tag you will find many different reasons that are offered. Writing is a creative outlet, it is also a professional, personal, practical, and purposeful act. Through writing we can achieve a goal, simply: writing serves a purpose. Today we could even call hand-writing a traditional act, because of the digitalization of writing and publishing. But writing / publishing are not a new act, merely a progression, growth and development of the platforms, as we utilize the act of the pen and keyboard functions. Even as we write, share our stories on our platforms, and even social media in the form of personal blogs - I began to wonder how publishing is also an act that we do through our daily living. How or what are we publishing as we live our lives on a daily basis?

     If you think about it how we live "publish" our life is where the desire to write, publish, and even the very purposeful practical elements of writing stem from. How we Live "publish" our life / daily living is where we begin our daily interactions - our life story, which really becomes our open book. Similar to social media, digital publishing and even writing, the act of living, the interactions / relations we forge with other human beings can either make or break relations. 

The following graphic is a brainstorm I created earlier today with some of the reasons for writing. Others that I saw with the #whyiwwrite #NationalDayOnWriting were the words empower, inspire. I am sure there are many more reasons / words that will arise to add.
