About

As I was sitting here, bound and determined to write my first post for my first blog, that is probably six months over due, I realized that I was getting stuck here on the silly little title. I am not sure why titles tend to creep me out. It’s not like I am tattooing it across my forehead, or something equally ridiculous… but titles, or labels mean that whatever it is that follows has to sort of relate back to said topic. It really is an anxiety ridden affair for me. Titles, topic sentences… oi vey! Perhaps here in lies the reason why it has taken me six months to accomplish something that my heart desires? I stare at the About page, and I am dumbfounded.

The fortunate thing is that I talk to myself quite a bit. Like, out loud. And I answer. So, me and myself were realizing this afternoon that I don’t want to have an “About” page. I am complex… or maybe just random? I can’t write ABOUT myself because, I think that this is the purpose of my blog. If you want to know more about me, click away. I’m not too sure how long this phrase will be relevant, but for now I think it still is– “I am an open book.” Always have been. I am passionate about everything in life. If it has my attention, then I am all in. I spread myself too thin. I talk about excessively, in hopes that a few of my words would be plucked out and tucked away in the hearts of those around me.

Twenty-thirteen is my year to shine. It is the year I have given myself to fully bloom, to explore everything that there is about me, and to find balance. It is my year to challenge myself, because life so far, well… it hasn’t been the easiest, but I am just wanting more. I am grateful for those who are willing to stick it out with me. Grateful for those who can find inspiration, or maybe even just a chuckle here and there. Because what I have learned in my life is that laughter is the song of the soul, and it resonates within us.
