I wear my heart on my sleeve. My Mom will attest to that - she's always known exactly what's going on with me. I can't keep my emotions hidden. If I'm p'd off with you - you'll know it. When something good is going on - you'll know that too. People who know me, know exactly how I feel the second I walk into a room - it's not always a good thing but it's who I am. S said in his wedding speech that he always knew exactly when to shut up and wash the dishes! :-) And I guess I am like that - what you see is what you get. However, I'm not always that good at getting the words out when stuff is on my mind. I have such long conversations with myself that I forget I'm not actually saying the words out loud.
This week I realised how much this blog has come to represent me - it's become so much more than the mommy blog it started out to be. It's become my sounding board, my place of sanctuary, my creative space - and in fulfilling each of these functions, it has become my voice.
Recently I met this incredible person who, after I vaguely mentioned my blog, searched for the link and decided to check it out. The feedback was so divine that over the last few days I've read back over some of my posts - and realised just how much my blog sounds like me. So to anyone who wants to get to know me a little better - here I am, with my heart on my sleeve.
Untravelled Soles. I remember writing this post so very long ago, soon after I had started blogging - I was wondering then whether to make the blog public or to keep it to myself, and I'm so glad I decided to put it out there - even if no one else were to ever read it, because one day someone did. An amazing, honest, caring and true person read it and in doing so, read a little into the heart and head of this girl - and a new friendship was born :-)
