Beginning

I have so many cool friends that have a blog, I figured I needed to dip my toe into these waters. Plus, April and May have been challenging months for me personally -- too much change. Because most of my life seems to be on a collision course with "different from before," I decided to do something I thought I would never want to do. Write a blog. I have resisted it because I consider it (for me) to be an indulgent form of navel gazing. Why would anyone find my life interesting enough to want to put their life on pause to read about my petty musings? But then I considered the fact that maybe putting my life out there -- warts and all -- would open up new avenues for me.

In case you can't tell, "new," "different," and "change" are not my favorite words. I wish I could fling my arms wide to everything life has to offer, but I usually face life with crossed arms and a suspicious look. So, here's some background on me that you may want to know to understand my blog. I am a 40 something wife, mother, and lawyer. I am a constant sinner who can continue on solely through the grace of Jesus, i.e., I'm a Christian. I have two daughters who I will refer to as Moo and Gibby, and a husband I will call the Hubs. I was put up for adoption at birth by a wonderful, nameless, faceless woman and placed with a great family. I work for a federal court, so I won't be talking about specific cases or politics. Mostly, I'll just ramble about what I think is important or interesting. In other words, because I say so . . . .
