Is not sure how to go about blogging...is this some kind of stream of consciousness exercise? my own personal open-face Dear Diary moment? i guess i will begin by saying that i have been a bit of a blog-snob over the years...'why is that necessary', etc. but lately i have found that having an outlet to process all that happens to a person can be infinitely more helpful than an hour's intensive therapy session. so i'm giving my voice a platform to ramble, search, criticize, evaluate and hopefully discover all sorts of new truths. thanks for your interest in my journey.
