SubscribeDear Friends-
I first envisioned this blog as a simple move from LiveJournal. I am seeing now in only a few posts, that it is going to be so much more — and so different.
In many ways, it’s because I feel more at home here – I am able to control my environment more. I’m able to feel more at home: more myself. And that is something I am working on these days – being at home with myself and comfortable in my own, much healthier than it was – skin.
I’m also trying to practice defining what I want, something I mentioned on Stitching with a Shimmy back in January in a post called “On Writing Things Down.” So let me try to define that better.
- I want to feel comfortable in my ability to make needed decisions, regardless of other people’s “Stuff”.
- I want my reaction to other people’s “Stuff” to be more “wow, that must be really hard right now” rather than having their stuff set of my stuff and me ending up blubbering in a corner somewhere.
- I want to be comfortable enough in my own skin to let myself be wherever I happen to be in MY bodily and emotional health journey at any given moment.
I’m now envisioning this space as a place to learn more about myself as well as about other things. I’m sure that it won’t be static. Nothing ever is. I’ve got ideas. I’m moving right now in directions I never envisioned, and I wouldn’t be surprised at all if this blog does the same thing.
Come back soon!
