Baby Steps

Sometimes, you just have to stop making excuses.

Today I am creating a place other than the journal or the diary to start expressing all of the various randomness that crowds my brain all day long.

Was it the political campaign this year that really pushed me over the edge? Or raising two teenagers? Or dealing with my own chronic illness? Maybe it's the failing economy... maybe it's the beginning of the middle age crazies...

Or facing the undeniable truth that the world is going to be changing in radical ways in the next couple of years.

Whatever it is - the deep restlessness in my soul can't be denied any longer. I need to express myself. I need to find art and music and write poetry and rant and tell stories and experience things... NOW... while I am still healthy enough to be fully engaged. NOW...Now is the time.
