and so here I am. I miss writing, I miss this voice and so I find myself here. truth be told, I prefer the satisfaction that comes from putting pen to paper (black pilot pens on clean white paper, nothing like it in all the world) but I'm spilling out all over the place these days. why not spill a little here? my life is a mess and you know what? I'm tired of trying to keep it neat and clean and tidy. I'm not sure I want the bloggity-blog world of bloggers to read and comment on the messiness but here I am, all the same. does anyone out there care? do I really care if anyone cares? I can honestly say that I don't. what interests me most is the having of this space, the freedom to throw words and ideas around.
Well, first I am very happy that you have taken the plunge into this incredible world of blogs. Not only because I have one of my own, and that now we have something else to share and talk about, but mostly because you possess that rare talent of the written word, and I've been wanting you to be able to share this talent with the world. Your writing skills are unmatched in my book and I cannot wait to see what magnificent lyrical gems you have in store for us, your audience. Whether this audience consists of one or of many, you will certainly shine. You are a brilliant woman raising two brilliant kids, and I love you dearly. Love, me.

ReplyDeleteIt's good to see you up in here, Heather. Say hello to the bebes for me.
thanks for all the encouragement. I have been feeling a little vulnerable about puuting myself out there... so used to my own private journals, so this feels strange. but loving the encouraging words, everybody!
ReplyDeleteHey there Andrea, Well, I always thought at some point you might do some kind of writing. I am thinking back to you being one of two chosen out of your 5th & 6th grade classes to go to the state "young authors" conference in Springfield. I was a rather proud mother wondering, (along with every other parent there), what your future would be in writing. Well, now that you have had some unique and challenging experiences as a woman you can certainly share them with the world or at least with any who care to read about them up to this point. I look so forward to reading what you choose to share.
