I can't guarentee much on here - frequent posts or extreme wisdom, but I guess that I have officially become one of "those people"...you know, the ones with a MySpace account, Flickr account and now indeed a blog as well.
What has happened to me!?
I've been spending alot of time alone lately - in coffee shops....in other people's homes as children sleep (as a nanny, not some creepy stalker :) )...at my own home. And somehow I'm starting to cherish it in a way that I never have before. Giving myself time to read - to actually THINK - to pray and to reflect. To be wonderfully selfish.... and realize that I'm not always going to have a job where they pay me to sit in the sun and journal while twins sleep inside the house...and that my time, as busy as it may seem now, will never be so flexible and in some ways self contained.
Life has so many question marks and parathesis these days...
I've been focusing in a bit on what life after September 22nd looks like - that's graduation you know - and I think I'm starting to get a little bit of clarity...or at least few options. Check out this website... www.acresoflove.org . I might go spend some time in South Africa with this crew working in orphanages and doing photography... I'm sure (well at least I hope) this blog will someday be filled with those adventures.
As I end my first blog, I feel a little disappointed. Maybe I had grandiose ideas of beautiful prose rolling off my fingers....depths of insight and wisdom. I guess all you get this time is my jumbled rambling thoughts. Maybe after I get out the backlog of ideas that have collected I'll have some more beauty in what I'm writing. :)

Ah, I have been granted access!
Beauty in writing is like putting a flower on a mountain of flaming crap. It all burns anyway.
I think that's Dickinson or something, yo.
