Breathing Spaces

You speak

And I listen

You move

And I stay still

I am taking it in

Listening to the unspoken words

Observing between the lines

Learning from the small, hidden gestures

I want to know

I want to be certain

I want you to move

Not half heartedly

Without a single hesitation

Without a moment of doubt

I want to know

that this was born of prayer

I want to be certain

that you have thought long and hard for this

I want to be sure

that you are committed

that you are real

that you are here

So I breathe

I leave spaces

I take it in

I wait.

Tricia is a fashion blogger, so there's a part of the event in which we all had to pick out and model the outfits from Bayo then Tricia picked out winners from the attendees. So the event started with that then went into the specifics of fashion blogging then writing in general. :) Hope you'll pick up a few writing nuggets! Happy reading and writing!

But it's a spacious lot -- with glass doors, paintings, couches, benches and wooden architecture -- it may just be my favorite Starbucks by far.

Hope this encourages you! Dennis told me to share his insecurities in this blog because he thought that it would encourage the men out there. Some of his insecurities were:
