Prologue, August 10, 2010

A great man once said "Whatever it is you wanted to be when you were 10 years old, that is what you are meant to be in life."  What is it you wanted to be?  And how does it compare with what you are doing now? 

My answer at age 10 was that I wanted to be a writer (& a horse trainer).  And so after many years of private journaling and sporatic emails that were met with replies of others encouraging me to write, I'm starting this blog.  If you are reading this, you are a "founding member" of a new adventure for me - one which may lead somewhere amazing, or may simply lead to some warm thoughts and rays of random encouragement shared amongst you and I.  But at age 40 I've committed myself to connecting back with the most authentic parts of who I am at the core and who I want to be so that I can live each day more in tune with what God has me to be, rather than living it by hectic happenstance.

So come pull up a chair, pour yourself a tall glass of lemonade or wine or whatever drink gives you refreshment and freedom of mind and heart.  Come read, listen and see what these words might stir within your own soul. . . .


(I must give a quick thanks to my amazing husband, who is, in fact the great man who made the statement above and who has always encouraged me to explore my passions in life for whatever it may bring.  Cheers to you, my sweet Anton, and to me for stepping out to explore new adventures.  May our lives together become all that we both wish for, from this day forward and forever more.)
