Happy 2026 #Just Write!! Whew!! These past few days of the new year have been mind-blowing already. I literally began the New Year with news of a classmate's sudden death (passed on New Year's Day) which charged me to slow down even more and continue with intentional check-ins with family and friends and also with myself after a busy month in December. Although cold and unpredictable, the month of January always symbolizes a renewal period and time to set the tone for the rest of the year and so as I grieved my classmate, the words legacy and purpose echoed throughout his homegoing service as a charge for attendees to do God's will in their life. The following day I had a phone conversation with another classmate and I expressed to her that it is my hope that people don't have to attend a funeral to know the importance of legacy, purpose, and God's will. We have time now to get the Word and get right.
This month's blog rewind is from
January 15, 2016, Get Write or Get Left: A New Beginning. During that time period, we as a group were preparing for our first Writers Workshop with the charge of staying inspired and prepared for what was to come. The irony is that when the date was set, we didn't know that God would shift our plans later. Nonetheless, we remained rooted in helping others in their purpose and steadfast in being mission-minded. Despite what it looked like, we remained committed to our causes and callings.
As the year unfolds, let us all stay focused and committed to what God has placed within us and around us for His Kingdom. Don't lose your fire, #JustWrite!
Ignite, Insight, Just Write!
In His Service,
Lequvia Ousley
