there's a first time for everything.

There's a fair bit of pressure built up to your first blog posting.  What will this blog *be* about.  What do *I* want to say to the world.  The funny thing is, I never thought I had too much of anything to say.  Turns out I could've been wrong about that... ;P

I will say this much:  Life is crazy & I have no idea what I'm doing.  I thought we were supposed to know...who we are, what we want to be- now that we're 'grown up.'  But I don't.  More than anything I marvel at the fragility of life and love and have even more desire to savor those sweet small moments of joy and peace we happen upon in life.

I want to deeply learn the lesson that life is too short & that most of the time it's *absolutely* worth the risks we must take to live it well.  To realize who I am, who you are- that we might in fact be people living fully alive.

In the future you'll find here all manner of things: recipes, book reviews, articles I find challenging or inspiring, music I'm in love with, rants about things currently driving me mad, notes on the constant challenge to myself to live a simpler life and who knows what else.  Feel free to follow along with me on this adventure.  Feel free to share.  And I do hope, that if you're still reading this, you've found comfort in knowing that you aren't alone in still wondering who & what you'll be when you 'grow up.'
