Impossible Choices

 


Have you ever faced an impossible choice? One of those “which is the lesser of two evils” kinds of choices.  
Over the years, I have faced some tough choices. Ones I wished I never had to make. I felt the pain of my character here. The souls King Radolf was referring to were people that Nadine had a strong bond with. Only one soul… Well, that is an impossible choice/ 
What came into the play here was bigger than this one statement can reveal. Of course, I don’t want to give anything away, but I can say that most of our challenges don’t just boil down to that one choice. Rather, they are an accumulation of many small choices that we made along the way.
And when you face those impossible choices, who do you have in your corner to help you through them?

Who do you rely on?

  Who do you rely on? In the last two weeks, I have had to ask myself this very question. Trust is an important part of being human, as is faith. But there are things we can not anticipate that come our way that can shake our world. My daughter’s fiance’s flight was cancelled two hours before he was due to board and I have had several of my support team fall ill. This comes after I had been ill for over two weeks, following a spell of burnout, and then my bank rejected all my incoming Amazon royalty payments because of some change in code. The list is longer than I care to mention in this message, but one could say that I have had a spell of bad luck and I was certainly feeling fragile. If we want to move forward in life, making plans and setting goals is important and misfortunate has a way of challenging the viability of those goals. While we may have to delay some of our plans, we should never be tempted to give up or give in to despair or harden our hearts towards others. In th...

Toughen Up

Image
 Don’t you hate it when you are full of purpose and passion and then someone comes and crushes your dreams? Over the years, I have had to learn to take feedback. As a writer, my first feedback point is my editor. I have had to mature in this relationship. Sometimes feedback can seem harsh, but then I have to ask myself what the motives are of the person giving me the feedback. I think of all the war movies I watched when the training officer is brutal and then I ask, “Is it better to take feedback from someone who has a vested interest in your success, or get little “kindnesses” from someone who is not impacted by your success or failure?” I know that the more soldiers who die in a battle, the weaker the army will be. So taking feedback from your trainer whose success lies in your success not only makes common sense, it is a survival tool.   Over the years, I have had to learn to toughen up. Because my enemy wants to see me fail and my trainer wants to see me succeed. It ...

Standing in the Storm

Image
  Have you ever had one of those days where you don’t know how to carry on? A time where you feel so overwhelmed by responsibilities that the weight of it suffocated you? If you have lived long enough, you know everything changes, just like the tides of the ocean. I grew up in a coastal area and some of my happiest times were at the beach jumping up as the waves pushed us forward. The ocean can be a refreshing and fun friend, but also a raging enemy in times of storms. Many years ago I had a nightmare of a wave that seemed as large as a three story building. I was about to run and way, when I heard a voice telling me to shelter myself but remain where I was. The only thing I had was a tabletop. Well, as you know these things just appear in dreams in a way that makes perfect sense. As the waves thundered over the door, I sat with my eyes closed and waited for it to pass over me.  The scene had a familiarity to it. When I was just a child, my friends and I were playing on a buri...
