As I contemplate the very first blog entry on my new site, I can't help but think of what I read in Time Magazine this morning. In a "10 Questions" interview with actress Michelle Williams, she said,
"Somebody once told me that being a parent is like dying and being reborn, which sounds drastic, but I understood what she meant...If I don't get that right, then nothing else really matters...There's not a part of my life that it hasn't touched."
That really resonates with me. In my desperation to do motherhood right, I've lost ME. I have not only been "reborn", the last version of me is dead and long gone! I can't even remember the me I was before I had my children (two boys, ages 8 and 5). The old me has, with each passing motherhood moment and experience, vanished into thin air.
Time to reinvent, I say! This blog is all about my new emergence.... Brace yourselves. It may not be pretty - probably will shock some of you!...But this is all for my own fun and growth, so either enjoy the ride or get the Hell off my train.
