Writing. This is something I have always done. Since I was 8 years old, I wrote in journals. Pages and pages filled each week, and then each month. The older I got, I found that I was too busy to journal and I forgot that writing was a part of who I was.

Six months ago, I started a FB group called #projectfindmyself. It was the inciting event that pushed me forward and stretched me into a new shape and a new life.

I began to write again.

I found that day in and day out, words kept coming.

I would sit down to write, and my fingers would sometimes type words before my mind had told them what to type. I remembered this old love of mine. There is great joy for me when I can bring forth words and allow them to share what is in my soul.

Tonight, I actually decided that I am a writer.

And when I said those words out loud, I felt this explosion happen in my chest.

How did I forget this?

This seems to be a pattern in my life. I surrender passions, talents, hobbies to the busyness of life. And yes, life IS busy. I am a mother to 5 small children. They range from ages 2-12. Life never stops, laundry pours into every moment of my life and I feel very accomplished when the bathrooms are actually stocked with extra toilet paper. I congratulate myself when I shower and I feel extra great when I wear clothes other than gym clothes, even if I don't actually go to the gym...

My life is filled with chores and struggles. But it is also filled with wonderous moments that are magical and make every thing so much better. I am grateful I chose to have 5 children. I am grateful to be able to stay at home with them.

And yet, somewhere between being the 19 year old who took life on with a skip in her step, to a worn out mother of 5, I had lost myself. I lost what lit my soul up. I had forgotten who I was.

Writing has been a huge part in that recovery process.

Which is why I am starting this blog. This is a place for me to share, to create and to BE.

One word at a time...
