I started this blog two years ago with what I considered to be a proper amount of enthusiasm for such a big responsibility. I had no direction, no goal aside from "get thousands of followers who love my witty prose and the breathtaking photographs of my artistic endeavors and my beautiful-beyond-all-measure family and life".

I managed to eek out three posts. Seriously, how pathetic is that? 

Fast forward to reality. I'm still here, still trying my best to find the creative part of me that, on a good day, I can show to the world without feeling terribly embarrassed. Looking back over the two last post-less years, I realize I actually did have plenty to write about, plenty to show the world - it just wasn't always "pretty". And I didn't think anyone would find it interesting if it wasn't pretty.

To add insult to injury, on those "good days" when it really was pretty, I almost never wanted to slow down long enough to take a picture or write a couple hundred words about it. I was too afraid I'd ruin my mojo or jinx the creative karma that had bestowed itself upon me for that moment. And so, I just didn't post.

Take 2. I will post. At least once a week, maybe more once I find my groove. I will post pictures of things that are pretty and things that are not. And things that haven't decided yet if they are pretty or not. In an attempt to keep things interesting, I will tell you about my life, not just my art, and I will try very hard to not let my fears be my editor. This blog will become as much a part of my life as laundry, shopping, playing and creating are. 

Stop in and visit when you can. Leave me a comment if you'd like. Ask me a question. Tell me about yourself - I'd love to meet you!
