time passes

It has been a long time since I have written anything of substance here.  I have a few good reasons, the biggest being, I haven't really had anything to say!  It's always better to keep my mouth shut when that happens, or I get into trouble.  

However, I have something to say now.  Not profound, but a little something.  Like many women, I am on a journey to figure out who I am wrapped up in labels and responsabilities.  Lately, clarity has made an appearance.  I didn't recognise it at first.  Shoo-ed those thoughts away pretty quicky.  But they have kept comin' on back, with increased strength.

I am unhappy in my life.  I have tried to be someone acceptable to those around me, diregarding my own unique self.  I am discovering that I am a loved and special person, no matter what anyone else believes to be true of me.

So when I began this blog, I was searching for me.  I have learned that I was searching for me with other people's goggles.  Does this make sense?  Now, I am going to find myself, all on  my own, with my own heart and my own eyes.  They happen to be just right for me. 

Off I embark, once again, on a journey to find this missing me, the one who got lost in the land of  'sure!  I'll be whom ever you need me to be'.  I hope to say someday, that I am living the life my soul longs for, filled with creativity, joy, dear dear friends, passion and love.  Love from me to me.  Because I've never actually had that.  And I think it's about time.

this is a peaceful little girl, when she's not angry - then look out!!

listen closely...

Christine Northrup "A woman's monthly hormonal cycle is imbued with wisdom. When you suddenly feel teary, pause and consider what moved you. When anger comes, remind yourself that being able to push it down inside is not a gift. Anger unacknowledged and unexpressed produces disease. Anger is energy that is designed to help you identify w...hat you want in life. It mobilizes you with the energy to say "yes" to yourself and "no" to what no longer serves you." - Dr. Christiane Northrup

Two Lovely Things to Take a Look At

I was over at chookooloonks this morning and found a wonderful post about growing up, and opening one's mind.  Here is a link to an amazing speaker discussing the

Single Story. 

Thanks for sharing Karen!  Really, it's a good way to spend about 20 minutes of your day...
