Coming home

Yes, it's been a while.

I've been writing tour blogs over at www.brightsroots.blogspot.com, but have been ignoring my own...  As well as my own creativity.

A number of things have happened in the meantime, which make me want to get back to it.  Some difficult chapters have ended, some new connections made... and now it's time to get back to me.

I have been enjoying my new friend Louise's blog over at www.recoveryourjoy.blogspot.com, and mentioned I wanted to get back into it, myself.  See what happens when I open my big mouth?  :-)

It's been surprising to me how many people were reading the tour blog and getting something out of it.  Apparently, my musings and blatherings do touch others, give them something to laugh about, think about... who knew?  And I have to say, that as much as I DON'T miss blogging in the car, I do miss having that time each day to focus in and just write.

Creatively, I mean.  My morning pages (3 pages of longhand, as described in The Artist's Way) seem to have descended into to-do lists and griping sessions.

I don't think to-do lists and griping sessions will touch many people...

So, here I am, committing to ripping my guts out in public once more.

Bring popcorn.  And a helmet.

Because today, apparently, is the first day of the rest of my life.  And I've run out of excuses for not living it my way.  (Well, I'm sure I can think of some more, but... I'll try hard not to!)

See you in cyberspace,
Alyssa
