Let's continue shall we?

 Thank you for your emails and inquiries about my well-being and whereabouts. It's nice to be missed. 

There are times when it just feels right to be quiet. The last several months have been that way for me. I've been hesitant to write much of anything. 

Then it occurred to me the other day that life doesn't have to be perfect to be lovely.  (How did I let myself forget?) I am learning that in even in the midst of trial and uncertainty and hurt there is still beauty to be found. There will always be good. I need to look for it, and I need to write about it. It's who I am. 

So, as flawed or raw as some of my words may be, they are mine. I am claiming them. They belong to me, and this is my place for them. It is a vulnerable feeling to have your words out there for everyone to read... but this form of expression is so vital to me, and I will continue to grow into it. 

It is my intention to make my way back here to continue our conversations (we've had so many over the last 7 years!). Let's pick up where we left off ok?
