Celebrating My First Top Writer Tag

How the magic happens when you are having fun

“Magic is believing in yourself; if you can do that, you can make anything happen.” ― Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I have written on Medium for the past 18 months. For some, the path to success is short; for others, it is longer.

Every step on the road to success is one of forwarding motion.

It was a great surprise to receive my very first Top Writer Tag this past Sunday. It was triggered by an article I wrote about my experiences in three Michelin star restaurants.

For this, I got a top writer tag in food.

A big smile comes to my face as I ponder this. I mostly write about personal growth and life lessons. However, I do love food with all my heart.

Perhaps my joyful energy translated into this award. I am grateful for it. It is a gift that I do not take lightly. I am appreciative of all of those who have supported me along the way.

The universe always finds ways to celebrate our achievements, great and small. Let us find the magic in our days and lift each other up.

As I celebrate this milestone today, I am reminded that each celebration is a breadcrumb on our trail. It leads us to another article or a poem full of emotion.

The key is to keep going, even when those glimmers of light seem to fade.

I have learned that if one piece of my writing does not resonate, I must write again tomorrow and find renewed energy to share my heart once again.

This is my wish for all of you. May you continue to share your words, your spirit, your hope with all of us. We need you here as our guides.
