Here Goes Something...

     I have thought about starting a blog for a long time. I read blogs regularly: some by people I know, and others I have just happened to come across. It's something that I've been considering for a couple of years now, but I could never decide what would be my overall topic. A friend of mine suggested writing down a list of things that I love and am knowledgeable about. I took her advice, made my list, and soon realized I have many things that I am passionate about, but no overwhelming interest. I have held jobs in a broad range of fields, tried out many different hobbies and I feel as if I have a moderate interest and skill in them all. So, I then decided that I could combine all of this and write whatever happened to come up that day. It could be a project I am working on, something I am researching about or any other topic that pops up.
     But then I needed a theme that could tie all of those things together. And that's when I realized that all of these things that I have an interest in or that I have tried or researched, are all involved in creating the life that I have always wanted and imagined. Every step I take, I am manifesting my reality. I choose to focus on the positive or the negative, the fear or the love, the dream of what can be or the reality of what is. This is my passion. There is so much empowerment and liberation that comes in creating WHATEVER YOU WANT.
     So come along with me on my journey through establishing not only my life, but also finding out who I am and my place in this world. I will share advice, mistakes and amusing events that happen along the way: from growing a garden, raising a water-obsessed puppy who thinks he's a cat, preparing our home to live sustainably, and making organic and wholesome choices, to designing our space in which we live, organizing the junk, living in the middle of nowhere, painting and art, losing weight, finding health, and thinking and acting consciously.
     I hope to share what I have learned or what I am learning, and to receive advice and comments from those reading this who have been through or are going through something similar. So, let's jump in, have some fun and learn a thing or two!
