"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow that talent to the dark place where it leads."

What is your talent and have you followed where it will lead you? As a writer, it has happened to me. When I get close to revealing the darkness within my spirit, I back away. My mind finds some reason to get up from the writing table. And I don't follow my talent into the dark cave of my imagination. As a speaker and storyteller, there are places I don't go because I know others will be uncomfortable. It takes courage to follow your muse — to open yourself up and expose your secrets to a world that might laugh and make fun. Yes, Erica, everyone has talent.
