welcome home mother dear

When I saw my mom today I immediately showed her this page because she was the one that encouraged me to set up a blog in the first place. I expected excitement, but instead received words of concern. First there was the expected safety concern, which I quickly explained away when I told her no one knows I exist. But then she kept going...said this site could come across as arrogant if people saw it as a page created by me, all about me. That is what brought me to you today. To my world of 2 followers, I warn you, my words are not ones of wisdom that I hope to impose on the world. Even though I could one day potentially talk to many readers, my stepping forward into blogging was an effort of taking one step backward out of the world. This is my escape. For years my room has been filled with pieces of paper where I wrote ideas, stories, prayers, etc. Words have never come out of my mouth as easily as they come out of my fingers. I think if no one ever visited this page I'd be o.k. with that because if nothing else I want to show myself more of who I am. So thank you 2 readers for caring enough to read, but know that I don't expect you to find importance in this. Apart from a chaotic world that daily sucks me into it, it's refreshing to be able to sit down, turn on my music and remember once again who I am.
Take a moment for yourself today...

p.s. On a much lighter, note my song recommendation for the day..My Savior's Love Enduresby JJ Heller. Ohohoh and Where I land by JJ Heller as well. That's a good one. Her myspace link follows with more amazing, uplifting, inspiring music

I'm a blogger?

Exhaustion. After what seems like hours trying to set up a blog for my sister, I'm sitting here attempting yet another "blogspot". I don't exactly have a lot to say and more often than not I will not be as philosophical as most of you. I'm not a hardcore web surfer; I stick to the basics...facebook. When I'm feeling crazy I might look up some Adidas soccer apparel or perhaps a prom dress that I hope to wear in a few short months. Yet, your world fascinates me. So here I am. I'm just an ordinary gal, hoping to relate to an ordinary (or even not-so-ordinary) friend like you.
toodles!
