Space2live came to life in February of this year.  I wanted a venue to post my writing, receive feedback and generally administer self-therapy.  I needed a foundation of work to leap from in order to even consider writing for a living. I wanted to improve and shape my writing. I wanted to see how consistent I could be.  Could I create a piece of writing with value every week?  The answer to that is subjective, but I did put something of myself on the page every week, amounting to 48 posts counting this one.

I guess I proved I can be consistent.  I also learned that I love the process and writer-reader connection of maintaining a blog.  It is fun for me to find out what I have to say to the world.  Sometimes I surprise myself;) (3 Elements of Exquisite Sex and Divine Writing).

2011 has been a huge year of personal growth for me, emotionally, spiritually and creatively.  I experienced pillow-soaked despair and awe-filled peace.  I believe I went light on the despair in my writing, mostly to protect others, but I tried to convey some of the peace through my words and experiences.  I plan to be even more open in 2012.

For now, here are the 2011 articles that resonated the deepest:

Beyond the above posts I also wanted to compile the top 5 pieces that came from an especially meaningful place within me.  These pieces demonstrate what I feel is some of my best writing and/or areas where I needed help and found it.  One way or another they are messages that I definitely want to share.  May they benefit you in some small way.
