From the bottom of my heart

Thank you, to the veterans, men and women who serve this country.

In remembrance of those who risk their lives to protect mine.

like a dandelion

These days, I feel like a dandelion just before going nova.  The seeds that make up my universe trembles, yet I am a master of survival.  I can take root in places that seem unlikely.  I can travel the world with one breath and be carried away by the wind.  I am airborne, riding an invisible sail.  My troubles try to decimate me, not for spite, but lack of knowledge and wisdom.  I continue to heal and nourish those I encounter.  I euphorically wonder the world, groundless, not knowing where I will go or where I will land.  The next time I'm seen, I iwll be picked delicately, most likely a child, and be wished upon.  I will once again float beyond the bluest seas, across the greenest meadows, and make home where the light breeze carries me.  I allow the sun to replenish my soul just so the breeze can take me to a new unfamiliar place.

First Entry

Never thought I'd have one of these.  I for one was never a networking person.  I stayed away from internet exposure for as long as I could.  Throughout high school all my friends and family had their Xanga, Friendster, Myspace, and whatever other blogging sites.  I was always told that I should have one of these social internet connections, but I never really understood why anyone would want to share their life to the world.  Heck, I didn't even have an e-mail address.  I went through college much the same way, no internet networking site for me.  All I needed was my handful of friends and that was good for me.  I got my first e-mail address because it was required from my college professor. 

So what lead me to this?  It started with someone making a Facebook account for me because it was becoming difficult for my friends to get a hold of me.  I was always out of the circle or the last one to know.  Then one click lead to another and before I knew it... I was depending on the internet to find recipes for dinners, ideas for travel, deals and steals, tips and tricks for healthy body, mind and soul.  The rest is history!  And now I have a blog.

A word about the blog title.  Honestly, I had the most difficult time coming up with a name... I still don't know why I chose it or how I came up with this, and it will remain as is.  I'll treat this blog like I treat my moleskine... a place for messy, reckless scribbles and thoughts.

Until next time!
