Welcome!

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
