Gratitude for Inspiration
Melissa Krueger

December 9, 2025

Today is Day Nine of the December Gratitude Challenge…

For the past few months, I’ve been on a bit of a journey of self rediscovery. I’ve been reconnecting with my Pagan faith. I’ve ben writing nearly daily in my journal, and perhaps most importantly, I’ve been feeling - and embracing - the itch to write creatively.

I am so grateful for the inspiration to stretch my creative wings again and reach for the writer that lives in the depths of my soul. I’ve been too scared to express myself for years. I’ve been repressing it, and it has eaten at me.

To get back into the groove, I’ve been doing some writing sprints and challenges. I’ve decided to commit to drafting my first novel, getting my time blocks into my planner. I cannot wait to see what a rollercoaster of an adventure I experience as I let my imagination fly.
