I think to some, reading excerpts of any kind from an author addicted to extreme punctuation can be quite annoying. Unfortunately for you, I am one of those writers! I am, I can't help myself....I love to have the dramatic pause and the excited tone. I even love the smiley faces :). And don't get me started on exclamation points, they rock!!!!
So, I was pondering my enthusiastic attempts at prose, and I came to a slight conclusion. Passion is in my blood and heartbeat, and very much at the center of it. Whether it is about me or not, I love the anticipation of goodness on this earth in whatever form it comes. The creme de la creme for me is when a person dives into a new realm of revelation for their lives. I clamor at the chance to be a part of the free fall with them as they engage beyond their current "known"and into the scary and unexpected just outside their reach. That is where they are found having to surrender to the realization that there is a heck of a lot they don't know, and they become OK with that! They become further aware of how great of a Creator we have.
Truth be told there are so many heroes we never hear about. People who are delving into realities and places that horrify them, but yet they keep charging forward eyes wide shut! Beautiful....I love it. I am attempting to live in that place right now. The jump is mid-air and the gorge below is undefined. The darkness is vast but at the very base of it, I can see a sliver of light so intense, there are no words other than freedom! We are all heroes in one way or another. And what is a guarantee is that there is more life ahead of us with ample opportunity to jump, fall, dive, catapult, or all of the above into our destinies! I think the best place to start is loving our lives to the point of complete contentment except for the inquenchable fire for more of Him. We would feel more heroic than imaginable! We would definitely allow ourselves to see the heroism in and through us and be loving ourselves and those around us with ferver! I'm thinking sign me up!
At this point I am most definitely going to continue to bother people with my ethusiasm for punctuation....maybe it will catch on!!! We can all be exclamation point and smiley face crazy over these lives we have been given and the lives of those around us ;).

I love them too!!!!! :)
I have to say that while I share your enthusiam for puncuation!!! And enjoy reading your highly puncuated words....dramatic pause... I love to hear your voice saying your words even more...no one does the dramatic pauses like you, or has your little giggle;)
And it's funny that so often when I am (we are) in those scary high dives of life and when I am not sure that it's not a freight train that is shining its light at the end of my very long.... dark.... scary tunnel. I tend to pull away rather than pull toward the people like my friends that can help fill me back up with passion and purpose. Sometimes it's just a friends voice saying "you were born for more than....dramatic pause...THIS" or saying "THIS is just a moment, IT WILL PASS!!!!!!"
We must have courage to hold on to our passion and purpose in those hard moments, and courage again to share it with others...yes??!!??
I love hearing the insight of everyone else. There are always additions and expansions to my heart that I get from the comments. You girls rock!
Misi....I forgot to answer your question so, "YES!"
Yes I love it! Life is worth celebration and without passion no intimacy.
I really like when people are expressing their opinion and thought. So I like the way you are writing
You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it
