Today's post is written by one of my favorite people and an all-around divalicious woman :) I'm so blessed to have her in my life. She is the type of friend that will give it to you real, but it will be said with love and be completely genuine. (I definitely need the realness from time-to-time!). She's been my rock during some rough patches and is someone that I look up to as a wife and mother (she recently celebrated her 18th wedding anniversary!!!). I hope you are blessed by her words and her purpose!
My name is Sherika V. Washington and I am stepping into my destiny! My passion has always been writing. I would always say, “I want to be able to provide for my family with my writing.” I didn’t know how that was going to happen but the door was opened and I am now contributing editor for an amazing magazine geared toward women in South Carolina’s African American community. The publication is IMARA Woman magazine and I am blessed to be a part of it.
At this stage in my life I believe my relationship with God is my inspiration. Anytime I feel like giving up on my dream I remember that God is able and that nothing is impossible with Him. So, I have to keep going and keep believing.
Three words that I want to be associated with are: Determined; Positive; Transparent
The first “big” step I made toward my destiny was publishing a collection of my poems. The effort was huge because it included poems from my pretty and not so pretty young adult years. While, I wasn’t able to promote “Speak Life” efficiently my faith was catapulted. After all, the book has been published and is available at AMAZON.COM. (Check it out!! The support is long overdue.)
My most recent endeavor is Worthy Words by Sherika, a writing service that I am offering. When I say I love to write that means anything. From business related letters/forms to plays and skits, I want to write. So many people dread writing anything and often miss opportunities because they choose not to write or don’t do a good job. I want to step in and remove that dread. I provide this service to senior citizens for free.
In the future, I will be writing and distributing inspirational booklets and holding lectures that accompany the booklet material.
“I’m walking all up and through my destiny and I’m not turning back!”
