Press coverage continues as Steve Jobs steps down from his trailblazing CEO position. I like millions who have followed this man through the years, wish him healing days to focus only on himself.
I always find myself emotionally open to comments or daily occurrences that validate my passion to write at this time in my life. In the past, one of the Cruise Directors on our Celebrity Cruise trip through the Panama Canal had the same name as Lawrence's birth name. I remember boarding the ship and one of the women who is the fictional character Chantal, was at security. I had seen her years ago on public transportation and became fascinated by her soft-spoken demeanor. Last evening the news showed a clip of Mr. Jobs during a commencement ceremony and the words he said are now part of my validation as a writer, “There is no reason not to follow your heart".
Thank you Mr. Jobs, will and I continue to follow my heart with the words I write each day.
