#800

I am a writer, I believe that now, no question......it is a part of me, and it has always been there.....hidden some and just waiting to be freed.......and today, for the 800th time I sit down to write, blogging parts of my soul.....and it is kind of amazing to think of yourself doing anything 800 times......right? That is kind of an amazing number......and that means that roughly my new life started 800 days ago......give or take......and that I have worked out 800 times.....it all started around the same time......have lived alone for 800 days......been out of my comfort zone as long too.......all of it.......and I am so grateful, grateful to the people that care what I have to say each morning, and still read this blog with enthusiasm.....I am grateful the blog is growing.....evolving.....touching new readers......and taking me on a journey......when I wake up, I am never quite sure where my fingers will lead......I only commit to the opening of my computer, and the rest surprises me some days too......I have said early on, that I feel my blog has a life of its own some......a living breathing vessel of healing......for me......for others.....something borne in the throes of despair, of desperation......of just a sheer need.......a need to articulate what my soul had to say.....what my soul felt in the day to day......and not knowing how to release the valve.......and then there it was......and gosh.....it has taken me through some darkness.....a lot of darkness....and pain........but also some light......some fun......the serious and not so serious......and it has now become a part of my heart......when it began, I never imagined the 800th blog......I am not even sure what I imagined.....guess I didn't really have a plan.....just jumped in and let it take me......I plan on blogging for as long as it resonates with me as deeply as it does now.......as long as I feel I have something to say.....something that is meaningful, meaningful to me or others.......or for as long as it makes sense to share......this journey........ the one I am on......is a familiar one to many.....many people having traveled it......many will be traveling it in the future, unfortunately too......not uncommon or rare......this blog has helped me to build a business, before I knew I was planning on doing that.......intuitively laying the groundwork for coaching, unbeknownst to me......kinda cool right? Giving me street cred some.......letting people know my heart and the places I have been......the places that may help them travel their own journeys too......every single message or piece of feedback I have received, in response to any of my blogs, has touched me deeply......I have some new topics I want to explore soon, and am thinking of ways to develop them as it goes.......things that are relevant to single folks, challenges and triumphs.....and particularly single mothers.....some topics I have brushed upon.....some that need deeper exploration......so stay tuned;-) but ultimately, beyond being a writer.....I get a kick out of saying that;-)......it feels like home to say that and acknowledge that.....a dream come true.......but beyond that, I am a woman on a mission, just a normal woman, and a blessed woman, seeking to do extraordinary things with the platform she has been given....yeah that is me:)
