If you regularly read my blog (which I’m sure is an impossibility since I haven’t regularly posted), then you’ve noticed that I tend to be a pretty deep thinker. And, I’ve had this hang-up that only deep, meaningful well-worded past-history works of art are post-worthy.  The problem – and the very thing that has kept me from writing regularly – is that being a single, stay-at-home mom of two teenage boys tends to create a vocabulary of half-sentences and grunts which don’t translate well to “deep and meaningful.”  It was over a month since I wrote Part One of a two-part post, and at this point, I’m not sure Part Two will ever get formulated!  Pitiful, I know. While we have done well to establish a healthy new normal post-divorce, our life is still messy, draining, demanding and fun. More often than not, the best I can do is a headliner for Twitter in 140 characters or less.

So, I’d like to shift gears a little from here on out.  While I still thrive on building creative analogies that get under the surface of our normal facades, I think I’m going to save those for special occasions.  I want to create more space here to connect with you!  I need people in my space, helping me to navigate the stupid things of life, so really this is an invitation for you to become that “people.”  I’m not sure what that really looks like…?  Especially since I’m opening up myself to rambling on about the raw, unfiltered, unfinished sentences that define my life these days.  My goal (and you can call me out if I don’t follow through!  I give you full permission!) is to regularly interject a little something into your week, every week, just to remind you I’m here for you and invite you to be there for me.  We can laugh together, cry together, and hopefully find a better way through life together.

If you’re in it with me, please sign up for my email list. I think that will enable us to interact more personally, and give you a chance to tell me your stories, too.
