Revisiting this old blog feels like visiting a town once alive and bustling now ghostly. In the same breath, like running across a dear old friend that knows you almost as much as you know yourself. This space served me once as an outlet for growth, healing and connecting with the world. I turn to it now as a "safe" familiar place to see the world through. 

Some Thoughts on Authenticity:

In the groups (circles) I'm part of/frequent, we talk about (muse) a lot about authenticity and being authentic. My New Year's Resolution was to be more authentic in the way I live. I find that if I follow a path of authenticity, I live a more fluid life. Not necessarily devoid of  hardship and suffering, but the ebbs and flows of life are much easier to easier to handle. Being authentic comes down to knowing oneself  and living, always, from that place. 

From This

To This **** I'm in awe of him everyday!

In an attempt to get my creative juices flowing, I made a pact with a fellow blogger to have a post up by the end of today.  After such a long leave of absence I have NO idea what to write about I just know that I want to get something down. 

I've wanted to come back to this outlet ( the blog) for awhile, but life keeps getting  in the way.  This is not necessarily a bad thing --being a mother to a 2 year old little boy is the best thing that has ever happened to me, but it doesn't leave much time for putting a pen to paper.  Plus, I don't/didn't want this space to become solely about my journey as a mother.  That is important, but possibly it's for another venue. 

So here, hopefully not as sporadically as I have been, though not as diligently as I once did--I will post about whatever comes to mind.  (I'm hoping--mostly thoughtful-- hence the title)

Tonight what comes to mind is MadMen.  How could I have waited so long to watch this addicting show.  Five seasons in the past two months and now withdrawal -- counting the days until April when season six premiers.

And there you have it -- end post.
