On Monday, I wrote a post called A Writer's Journey/Rethinking of a Subtitle, in which I wrote about why I feel the need to change the SUBTITLE of my blog.
When I started this blog as part of my journey to publication, The Between represented the deep chasm I perceived between the writing of my four novels and their eventual launch into the world.
It would be a place of rejection and disappointment, with occasional joys and victories along the way--a journey through the dark forest.
Now, after writing over one hundred posts related to my journey as a writer, I have a different take on The Between. I see it as a bridge that connects, rather than a chasm that separates.

It's a place where one's creative and spiritual lives overlap, a place of fearlessness to tackle difficult matters of the soul, a place where one's true self dwells.
As my definition of The Between morphed from one meaning to another, my SUBTITLE, A Writer's Journey, no longer represented what I was trying to communicate with this blog.
My message is not so much about my journey as a writer anymore, but about spiritual freedom, inspiration, and empowerment, which also happens to be the message of my four novels.
"You have to be in the world to understand what the spiritual is about, and you have to be in the spiritual in order to truly be able to accept what the world is about."
In my mind, The Between now stands for a place of freedom, a place where as David de Rothchild so nicely put it, you "listen to your goose bumps."
In Monday's post, I share some of my ideas for a new subtitle, but that's another story.
My Thursday Two Questions to you are:
- What do you call the dimension outside of the normal five senses where your earthly and spiritual lives overlap?
- What inspiration or understanding do you find (or seek) there?
Thanks for stopping by,
