Welcome - J.Walker © 2011
Welcome to my mind. I'm not sure what will happen with this blog but what I can tell you is that there are always wheels turning in there.
So why start a blog now? Good question. Last week I made a promise to myself that I would find something meaningful to do this winter. For quite some time I had been letting pieces of myself go without even knowing it. Being a mommy, wife, friend and nurse means giving almost all of you to others all of the time. It's exhausting really. Coupled with my people pleaser attitudes I have come to discover that I had been dangling on a dangerous precipice of total exhaustion in the quest to say yes and maintain a perfect facade.
I've decided that I don't want to do that anymore. I don't want to simply breathe, I want to live. Part of doing that is:
1) Rediscovering my passions
2) Sharing my passions
3) Keeping busy rather than hibernating and withdrawing
4) Remembering to believe in myself and never again losing sight of who I am
One step closer....let the fun begin!
"We are like the little branch that quivers during a storm, doubting our strength and forgetting we are the tree - deeply rooted to withstand all of life's upheavals." - Dodinsky
