{no more hiding}

I’ve recently realized that I’m something of a coward.

I started this blog a year ago in the hopes that it would provide an outlet for me to express my creativity.  But I’ve found myself squelching the urge to post anything that might bring about adversity or negativity.  It just felt “safer” when it came to certain topics.

But yesterday I realized that I’ve been doing myself an injustice by hiding my true feelings.  The bottom line is that this is MY blog.  And if someone doesn’t like what I have to say about a subject, they have the freedom to not read it.  Please don’t misunderstand, I’m not trying to alienate everyone around me……but the few people actually reading this blog as of right now are my closest friends and family.  And whether I can readers or keep the few I currently have, I think the important things is to remain true to myself.

As my family knows, I’m passionate about schedules and organizing and all things “neat”.  And I’ve recently started a new gluten-free diet.  I’m beginning to coupon again after months and months of being on a shopping hiatus.  And we are also about to begin our second year as a homeschooling family.  Obviously, I have things to share.

So, that is what I shall be doing.  Some of the posts may be boring, some of them may be controversial, but all of them will be from my heart.

I hope that anyone still reading along with continue with me on this journey called life.

the simple things are oftentimes the most beautiful….
