I believe we are meant to triumph. What does that mean? I believe that the challenges we get are meant to bring out the best in us, even though the journey to get there might be unwanted. If you were to read memoirs of individuals who were faced with a terrible illness or another kind of disaster you would find that the stories did not stop at the disaster. The stories kept going until, at last, there was some kind of triumph.

These memoirs are inspiring, but more than that, they offer hope that you too are capable of getting through challenging times with success. By writing about your triumph, with your head held high, your words have the power to become food for someone else's aching soul.

Memoir is a powerful way to bring out that inner voice of experience, the one that hurts, that conquers, that gets reborn. Memoirs are about all types of experiences. They can speak to the power of a relationship, illness, adventure, divorce - the list is endless.

What experience did you have that brought you to triumph? Don't judge it as being too insignificant to others or that it isn't worth writing. Write it anyway. The pen has no judgment of what you write.

Until next time,
keep the pen moving - Jan
