Question for Phd-ers:

How do you write when you don’t know what to write?

Today, I Read...

I read the quote from Marianne Williamson that I posted this afternoon, and I thought that no greater lie could exist. After pondering on this passage for a minute, I realized that it’s more true than I could have described myself. The feeling that my words will not hold value in the “grand scheme” of this world haunts me every single day. 

How can anyone approach such a daunting task of making a significant contribution to our collective body of knowledge without being shattered with self-doubt? Then again, how can anyone doubt themselves when they are more than capable of contributing by their nature?

 Simply bringing my own curiosity, my own experience, and my own potential for fabulousness to the table brings me to the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way. What an exciting kick-off to a short, but productive week!
