I just Love a Good Story. Don’t you just Love a Good Story?

Well, here is another Good Story

Promises or Secrets?

Before I begin, I want to apologize to you for my absence The reason, well, think about the time you watched a comedy show where a mishap occurred that ended up being funny. This time, the incident or problem happened to you. Just as you have the problem all solved or straightened out, and you can breathe again, carry on with your life, something else happens and after that problem gets almost settled something else happens. For the past five months that has been happening to me. Can you imagine five whole months of chaos and turmoil? I pray you will never go through that.

I am finally back and have another blog for you. What promises have you made for yourself? Did you keep your promise a secret? Did you promise yourself you would earn a degree? Did you promise yourself you would marry and start a family? Did you promise yourself you would always help the needy in some way? Or maybe you promised yourself you would be a dancer or scientist. Maybe you kept a promise your parents or parent held for you. In any case, what have you done about your promise? Or are you still holding on to your secret?

          Maybe, like me and many others, your life promise changed more than once. When I was a young girl, I was fascinated with the actors on TV and the movies. They always knew their lines and they moved with grace and confidence. More than anything, I wanted to be an actress (actor). I knew acting was for me. I could read, in fact, I was an avid reader. I could be expressive, move with grace and I understood the purpose. When I read novels, my brain turned the action into pictures. I promised myself I would be an actress and a well-accomplished one. Everyone would know me. I loved reading and I knew I would love acting.

          I didn’t share my promise with anyone. I kept it a secret. I told myself to wait until I got a part in a play first. One day in middle school, my class attended a meeting in the auditorium. When the meeting ended and everyone left, I went on the stage. I was frightened at first but made myself realize no one else was in the auditorium. I stood near the edge of the stage and looked out to the left, the center, the right and looked as far to the back as I could. I imagined people in the seats. Then I turned to an imaginary person on the stage and repeated a few lines I memorized from the novel I was reading at the time. I laughed. But when I turned toward the seats where the audience would have been, I froze. Realization hit me. People will be watching me and listening to me. What if I can’t remember my lines or get them mixed up? I stood there on stage alone and frozen. What would I do if this happened to me while acting on stage or TV?  On top of that, I was very shy. It was difficult for me to stand in front of the class and talk. Then I realized I could never be an actress. I had second thoughts about my promise to myself. One of my characters, Olivia in Blessings and Curses, has a secret about herself. How does she recognize it and how does she deal with her secret?

“What if the darkest secret you carry isn’t a flaw, but a key? You feel it too, don’t you? That hidden fear that you’re not good enough, that something is fundamentally wrong. For one woman, that fear has a name: a curse. But when she’s sent to the one place no one finds grace—death row—she discovers that confronting the darkness in others might be the only way to face her own. This isn’t just a story. It’s a journey of redemption that will have you questioning everything you believe about good, evil, and the power of choice. Find out if a curse can be broken.” The author of the quote wants to be anonymous.
