What Would We Talk About If You And I Could Get Together For Coffee?
Lately people have been asking questions about what I do at It’s My Footprint. So I thought of putting together this one to answer some of the questions.
Why I write
I enjoy writing. I like putting across a meaningful message to an audience. To me writing is like breathing. And once in a while I publish a book.
What Inspires Me
I am inspired by people, specifically the lives of people around me. Each time we chat or you send me a message or email, I get a new amazing revelation. Sometimes at a party someone can say one statement that triggers a chain of thoughts.
My Writing Habits
From the above you can tell that I write in bits and pieces. Some articles can take a year to be completed. I try to write only when I have feel like it. On average I write 30 minutes a day. I listen mostly to Bethel music when I write or similar good music.
Once an article is ready I send it to Tichaona, the assistant editor who fine tunes it. He is an amazing guy. He is the man behind the scenes.
Where I Write
I have two main writing stations both with great outdoor views; the study or the dining room. Surprisingly I welcome frequent breaks when I write.
What Do I Write About
When I write I try to write the heart of God. I discovered that God does not speak in verses. He is simple and personal.
When I started writing years ago some people thought I write motivational stuff. Yes, what I write is a bit motivation, but it is inspired wisdom. The idea is not to motivate but to bring change. That’s why at times I write hard stuff which is difficult to swallow. End the end of the day it’s sustainable results and permanent transformation that counts.
Things I Do That Inspires Me
My wife and three kids really inspire me. Each one seems to communicate a message. I take frequent walks in the garden or take a swim with the kids. At times I run to exercise and get my blood flowing. This seems to reorient my heart such that I write without bias. Finally our church is amazing. The whole church campus and the people seem to speak a message. This is the message I capture and put it on paper.
What Am I Working On
As of today I have 141 articles already lined up. They just need to be completed. I have three books with full content but still need to be polished. One of them is ready for publishing. I have three other book topics without content, and I need to put together the meat. What I am short of is the time to work on and complete these projects.
What would we talk about if you and I could get together for coffee?
I get many requests from people wanting to chat with me, perhaps an hour or more. Some will be having tough times in relationships, careers or finances. Some would be having business ideas, or want advice on real estate. Some also just want to seek life direction and clarity. At the end of the first meeting most people usually say, ‘You are so genuine. And you even look the same as in your profile pictures!’ Yes, that’s me. I enjoy simplicity.
