Well, here it is, my first official blog entry. So many emotions flowing through me, joy being the most prevalent. It has been a long time coming and since I have sent Fear on a long vacation, I can dance my happy jig with total abandonment. It is very interesting to me how fear can act as a powerful drug with the ability to paralyze you. I know, without a doubt that I cannot live without the written word. I have been writing down my thoughts, stories, poems, and the ever practical "to-do" lists for as long as I can remember. Books have been my constant companion, my preferred mode of entertainment. Words have spilled over into my love of music. Yes, a song definitely has to have a good background of music but for me, the words are the foreground. They are what causes emotion to flow through me. Don't get me wrong, instrumental music is wonderful as well, it has the ability to bring out certain feelings in me, yet I find that I am usually creating a story in my head to go with the music. Words are my passion, my bliss and as Joseph Campbell says "Follow your bliss and the universe will open doors where there were only walls." Fear had kept me from following my bliss, I allowed it to paralyze me but no longer.
So my hope is in sharing myself through words, laying myself out naked for all the world to see, that some of you may find something that moves you, that connects you to yourself, starts to awaken your bliss and creates cracks in the armor that holds your light hostage. May you send Fear packing, releasing yourself from the paralysis that has gripped you, so that you can dance a happy jig of joy!!
