Linda Bradley on Writing and Christmas #giveaway

Please welcome Linda Bradley who's given me a beautiful post  and is giving you, my beloved readers, a chance to win a set of all three Maggie Books -eCopies. I love the first two books and can't wait to read the third. I just purchased my  Maggie's Montana on Amazon.

Holiday Muse

The lights are up and the tree is decorated. Solitary beauty takes my mind to a snowy forest where the sapling once stood. My mind drifts into scene, the air still, the silence broken by soft footsteps of a burly man in flannel plaid toting an ax.

Much like myself dusting off a forgotten notebook filled with words.

Shaking the branches, flecks of sparkling dust fly about and he is pleased.

Much like myself when notion becomes story.

The lights twinkle, bringing what was a box full of memories alive again. With each trimming, warm thoughts fill me up.

Much like the chapters of a captivating book.

This peace reminds me of something holy on a dark and starry night.

Much like ambitious hope penetrating dark moments impeding plot.

This harmony doesn’t need a voice.

Much like library patrons who silently discover tales of enchantment while perusing endless shelves of text.

This moment brings joy. 

Much like a satisfying read.

Trees grow from the ground up. With the seasons they bud and blossom.

Much like the stories that make us whole.

Writing is an expression of creativity and sense of self. Writing connects us on a deeper level with those we may never meet, but most certainly feel connected to. Writing illuminates, the dreams within. Writing is magic, much like Christmas.

Wishing everyone the best of seasons. May you be filled with hope, happiness and many great reads in the New Year. May warm hearts unite, cultivating peace on earth.

“Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days, recall, to the old man the pleasures of youth, and transport the traveler back to his own fireside and quiet home!”   -Charles Dickens
