The Olympic Spirit…


It all starts with a gift or a love of the sport.

Training.

Learning.

And more learning and training.

Years and years of preparation and conditioning.

Then comes the time to go for the gold.

Yes, it’s Summer Olympics time again!

That description sounds like it could parallel a writer’s life, doesn’t it?

We start with a gift of storytelling or writing. We love to read.

We train, we learn, we prepare, and condition. We go for the gold.

Do you watch the Summer Olympics? What did you think of the opening ceremonies in London? What are your favorite events to watch? Do you feel connected with the world when it is Olympic time? I sure do.

I love archery, track and field, and gymnastics! I also love the stories of how the athlete got from here to there. Many have had hard struggles…great stories to inspire us.

I root for them all, but mostly for the Stars and Stripes.

GO Team USA! USA! USA! USA!

I would love to hear from you!

Between you, me and the gatepost,

Loree
