This isn't the life I ordered
3/2/2008 3:25:27 PM
Life often throws us curve balls, and for the creative person, those can be devastating. On the other hand, they can motivate us to keep right on doing what we love to do best: write, paint, draw, or compose music. That includes time that our writing or other gift is on the back-burner, simmering and getting better and better.
For an inspiring 2-part article on dealing with life's surprises, read Jane Martin's true story "But... I Didn't Order this Life" at

Unless you've been avoiding real life for decades, the above article will surely hit you where you live! For additional inspiration, Jane is a respiratory therapist and has a wonderful, extremely helpful website for those suffering from chronic breathing conditions.

May we all continue to live well as we listen to our muse.
