Hey, what's going on? Swell talkers. A lot of you that are going to be tuning in on this one are going to be new here because this is a new project. This is me attempting to put myself out there in my writing because it is something I've struggled with. So I wanted to go ahead and read an excerpt of just something, I guess it doesn't really have a body to it, or legs, I should say

Oh, my God. Okay, I'm not going to go into my whole spirituality talk because this is about your writing and not your belief system, but you are f****** awesome, and I cannot believe you're even and excuse my foul language, I am Renee Slay, and I do uncensored. There's not a bleep button

So it does mean a lot that you took the time to listen and not just listen, but also reply and give me that feedback. So I do have other stuff that I will eventually post right now. I've been kind of posting other just conversational stuff right now just to help me get over a lot of those mental hurdles that I'm dealing with. And so, yeah, I appreciate you for being the first to give me that feedback on here. And you're right

You will, like, I talked to some of these people on the phone now, and I'm not a phone person, but you will get to where you know their hearts. This is such a good community, but teach me a great one, because if I would just slow down and articulate, look, I'm in Texas. I'd never done anything like this before. I've been on here for a little while now. Freaking love it. And I just need to slow down

And I think it had the benefit, a long lasting benefit, I should say, that's had a significant impact on me even to this day. Which is funny because you say talking about being articulate and everything, I always had to laugh because when I hear that, I remember sitting down with what was it? I think it was a college advisor or something for I think it was a small business advisor or the career advisor, something like that, back when I was still in college

If they don't get it but they interpret it a different way, then that's the message that was meant for them. I don't know if that makes sense, but not everybody's going to understand it because it is someone's soul just laid right out on paper, basically. And it is. So different souls have different perceptions due to different experiences, if that makes sense. But it probably does because you're on this

But yeah, you're not the first person to tell me that I don't have an accent, and they're surprised to hear from that. I'm from Texas. However, most of the people that say that are usually from out of state or out of country, so not something I'm unfamiliar with. But judging from the draw, I would assume you were probably somewhere more central, northeast ish, I would think. I'm not entirely certain
I commonly, often, very often will go stand out and look out and these massive rock formations and structures and caves and all those crazy things to live out here and wonder how many people slept in those caves and how many thousands of years has that rock been precariously balanced on that edge of the cliff, waiting for one good gust to blow it over? And obviously, it's solid, right? It's not blowing over

Hey, I just wanted to respond. So I'm from originally. Deep East Texas, out near Luffin. I am now in not far from Houston, so southeast, but, yeah, very Texas in my draw. Anyway, thanks for responding. And I'll be paying attention to yourself, for sure
