This blog is inspired, in part by Julie Powell’s blog on MTAoFC, though I don’t think I will be spending much time in the kitchen (thank you Julie). This, too, is a year long project.
I dedicate this year to discovering, recognizing and revealing who I really am. I have long realized that throughout my childhood and my marriage I killed off many parts of myself to survive and delude myself into thinking I was happy. Now I am middle aged (if I live to be 112), divorced, unemployed, depressed; a bonafide member of the babyboomer generation.
Some of the accomplishments I hope for during this year are to free myself from living out of fear, to find meaningful employment, to improve my health, to “really” move into my house, to be more open to all the love that surrounds me in my life and to return to enjoying waking up in the morning and looking forward to the coming day.
I will be sharing with you lessons I’ve learned from memories, books, inspirational people in my life and whatever else comes along to help me on this path. I welcome hearing about others’ experiences and insights, so feel free to comment if you ever discover this blog. LB
