Starting Today

I have been thinking a long time about writing down my thoughts, in a journal, a blog, on a napkin. Somewhere where I can try to get things worked out, share my strengths, my fears, my desires, my struggles. So here I go. I have decided to start this blog. Titled "Blood of my Heart".

I have recently been very drawn to the writings of Louise Erdrich, a wonderful author, who lives here in Minnesota. I have read three of her books in the past couple weeks, "Love Medicine", "Tracks", and most recently "Four Souls". In the last book that I read, there is a part where the child is referred to as the "blood of my heart", the Mother's heart, that is. I found this incredibly moving and a fitting name for my blog. For those of you who read in the days ahead, maybe you will understand why.

I welcome you all into a small glimpse of my life. You may find it interesting, you may not. Either way I pray that it helps me work out what I need to in my life and can help lead me toward my authentic self.

To all I send blessings of health and the wish for a peaceful soul.
