Yep...I am back. Technically I never left but I haven't blogged in a long time either. I can give you a million reasons why I haven't posted and they are good reasons: my daughter is teething, we photographed our first wedding, and then of course there is the best reason of all "LIFE." You know life. The one we lead everyday that includes such tasks as dishes, laundry, grocery shopping, etc! The list of excuses really could go on forever but I think if I really analyze it, I would admit that I stopped blogging because of insecurity. Insecurity of being vulnerable. The act of putting yourself out there and open to criticism. I know most of you are shouting at me "criticism makes you stronger." And yes I believe that it can and it does but when I write I put myself out there. And that is scary. Flat out. It just is. I admit I don't have thick skin. Never have. I am trying to grow some but at the moment all my mad science experiments have failed and my skin remains thin. If anyone knows a special recipe please pass it my way.
Despite my thin skin I am also a firm believer in doing the things that scare me most. A great mentor once taught me, that in order to grow and develop as a person you have to do the things that scare you most. So despite my insecurity and see through skin I am going to continue writing and blogging. I have also made a promise to someone very dear to me to put my whole self out there and my whole self is a little crazy and cooky so if you plan on reading my blog which I hope you do be prepared that it may get a little bumpy and zanny like Toads Wild Ride.
At this moment I want to thank all the people that read my blog and have shared with me how much they love it. All your kind words have given me the drive and courage to keep doing this. Now please dont mistake me...if you disagree with one of my posts please share your thoughts in the comments section. I think a healthy debate is always in fashion!
