How very nice of this person

Just yesterday I was complaining of boredom. I have numerous things to do; I could compose list after list of various things to accomplish but none of them will suffice because it's a different kind of boredom. I need something to occupy my mind - not tedeous tasks to use up time.

So then I can accross this amazing treat!

Just what I needed! I also learned how to do that little trick with the link and the word. I'm such a dork but I'm still kinda proud of myself for figuring it out :)

Here are some pretty pictures to look at:

















You're welcome.. :)

Brave On The Rocks

I still don't know where to start with all this, or what direction to go, but I've got one thing on my mind tonight..

First and foremost - I need to talk about Sabrina Ward Harrison. This is an incredibly insightful women who has helped me realize how precious it is to discover your authentic self. There are no words that do her journals justice, and it would be understated to coin her solely as author or artist - she is one of those women who will (if she hasn't already) join the ranks of people like Maya Angelou, Rilke, or Sark. Its difficult to explain why I want to share her with you because I have no idea what you may absorb from her gift.

Her name sparked this post because I am marinating in her words "I wish to commit to grow younger... bless the unknowing". Through all of the changes in my life and wherever I may go I hope this stays with me. It would be incredible to let go of so much fear and worry..

My anxiety and worry is it's own storm that stirs inside me and wreaks havoc on my being. This sounds dramatic but I don't care (this is my blog ya know!). I have made a commitment to myself to discover where this worry comes from - I don't want to "heal" it or "work through it" because it's part of who I am. Why should I "fix" it?? Maybe if I know what it is and where it comes from then I can learn how to nurture that side of myself a little bit better :)

I wish I could channel Sabrina and spill out some awe-inspiring insight into the mystery of self-discovery. But... I can't. I'm simply me writing a blog that no one knows about and that's just fine. Hey, at least Sabrina and I are after the same thing though, right?

PS - if you continue to read beyond this post please keep one thing in (your very open) mind; don't take me too seriously ;) or yourself for that matter..

Hey, there.

I don't have a specific purpose for starting a blog.. I'm just doing it because I don't have a reason not to. But, I do have a vision for this space; it will be without limits and something I will relentlessly devote my honesty to. There are no expectations or standards to live up to except my own (and that could be a problem in itself) but I promise to freely exert my thoughts, emotions, findings, and ________(TBD).

So here we go, this could be the start of something really.. interesting. Hopefully. Maybe..
