That's how long I've been blogging.
I've done it all. Politics, humor, relationships, parenting.
Love found and love lost.
In all of that time there has never been a time where I could write for myself. I always hedged. Always.
Depending on who was reading, I'd get a lot of push-back for the things I said.
If I seemed unhappy, I was asked why and I didn't always know the answer.
If I seemed happy I was asked why and I couldn't always share.
When I came back from Paris recently I just knew it was time to change. Time to go. I waited until a number of us went to Vegas and decided it was the right time.
Kenny Rogers knew what he was talking about.
Time for a fresh start. Time to remove the vague writing and metaphors. Time to just write what I want.
I'm a bit scared. What if I can't do it? What if, like my first post was afraid of four years ago...I have nothing to say.
Oh, well. Never stopped me before!

You have a voice to share. I for one am glad you do.
You found a new home! Well maybe a refurbished one (I notice you have some old posts). Regardless, it's all you so hold nothing back. This is something that I'm still fighting with on the daily - holding back - but it's a process. Looking forward to more words from you. :D
Arty,
I love that I get to follow you here. I am looking forward to what's next for both of us!
Iam...
Thank you. I have never had a chance to write just for me so this will be interesting. :)
Stick around and let me know if I totally mess this up!
How exciting to have a venue where you can say it all - be totally you. How freeing!
And I'm thrilled that I get to read about it all! xoxoxoxo
Oh, so that last comment...I didn't realize that my computer was signed in on my daughter's account. Oooops - it's me, Lisa!
Ms. Hotsauce! I love that name, Lisa! :)
Your daughter has a cute screenname!
I made Christy promise to kick my butt if she finds I am hedging. Feel free to boot me a little, too!
