Creating the Real Me

A lot has happened over the last year. I started a new career two states away, and that change in life has introduced adventure after adventure. Each one has taken all the time and focus I could muster. I'm glad to say the new career is going well. The move between states went relatively smoothly considering the economy. There has been a lot to adjust to and many surprises along the way that have demanded our attention. I've noticed over the last month that a line must have been crossed. I am finding time to practice on the harp. I even now am in the process of warping my Le Clerc loom for a runner. So now, is there time again for the blog? Does it fit in this new life? There's only one way to know. It is to try.

I saw this quote on the front of a friend's fridge a couple weeks ago.

"Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."- George Bernard Shaw

I started this journey searching for myself hoping to find who I am. There is some truth in that where one let's there be freedom to be who we are. With each bit I've learned, there is also the opportunity of creating a life where I can be free to be who I am.
