Welcome to the new site.
At this, the beginning of a new project, most everyone who comes here knows me pretty well. Thanks for following me. I’m here in a new place to complete an old dream – having a place to write. Having a place to draw from the well of what has become my life. My soul. My human self.
It’s an art, being a person. And although I can’t claim to have found the secret, arrived at the pinnacle, earned the chops, or mastered completeness, I’ve decided it’s time to write what’s important. So here I am.
My old blog was called Presumed2Be Me Until Further Notice.
Here’s my notice.
My intention is to write about the art of being a person in the world. Broad topic, I know. But at my age a person should know some things. I’ve spent a lot of time not knowing what it is I do know, then being amazed when it comes out my mouth. It’s time to start writing things down.
Usually it’s the simplest things that are the most brilliant. I like to put them into words – things that lie in the background of our minds, under our emotional field, or in the cells of our bodies. Things that are transparent, but real. Things that, once uncovered, juice us up a bit, make us feel a little saner, keep us moving toward the light.
So here’s a hopeful sample of things to come: finding voice, centered living, being in the moment, emotional surfing, hyper-thinking, embodied knowing, self-betrayal vs. grounded action, sabotage, fear of happiness, stripping down, slowing down, making space, lightness, gratitude, finding joy, courage, passion, adventure.
Not that I’ve got these things handled, but I think about them. I think you do too.
Or you will.
Hallelujah! I’m so excited–consider me sitting criss-cross-applesauce at your feet.
The tales of your competence DO interest me.
We shall see!
Dear Karen,
You honor me by reading. I hope you’ll see something you like.
