I have a tattoo on my right wrist that says Let God. The d is quite faint(on purpose) to show the phrase is actually, Let Go, Let God. You get me? I have it there as a reminder to stop trying to control things in my life. To let things happen as they happen. To not force what is not meant to be. Letting go has never been easy for me and I doubt that will ever change.

So I blogged last night and then pressed publish and nothing happened. All my beautiful words that came to me in that moment are now gone. They weren't saved and they weren't posted. So here I am this morning trying to recreate. I was telling of my epiphany of how this is my blog and not every post needs to be lengthy, relevant or even coherent.

I left wordpress after 4 years of not really blogging at all and think I'm ready to get back at it. I'm feeling the urge to write again, something a little longer than Instagram is set up for. We'll see how it goes. Facebook is still not my favorite platform, but I quite enjoy the "on this day" feature. As I was reminded of past blog posts, I went back to the blog and everything was still there.just sayin'http://www.blogger.com/profile/07036268557376253050noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702840925989964102.post-2186284561157143352012-03-26T22:08:00.000-06:002012-03-26T22:08:38.399-06:00taking the plunge. my final post hereI'm taking the plunge and heading over to wordpress.com. I can't keep flitting back and forth....so off I go. I choose wordpress. My new address over there is http://a-place-of-my-own.com/
I hope you will come 'follow' me there! I will keep this blog up for a week if you have any questions. I'm not sure I will have the answers, but I will certainly try to answer to the best of my ability.

It's a work in progress. I probably shouldn't say anything, because saying so, just makes it sound like it's going to be epic!

For those of you wondering what I'm talking about, you can read about it here. I've had a few ideas of places I wanted to visit. As I mentioned it the other day to someone, I realized how close it is. I'm really getting excited.
On my list is : Kamloops, White Rock, Lilly Point, Seattle, Butchart Gardens and possibly Lynn Canyon

I'm right back there. I thought I had moved on, but clearly I was mistaken. I'm a lover of words. They are so powerful. I really do love them. Lately they've been confusing me. I've been listening to them all and I'm not sure which ones are intended for me.

I didn't really forget that I said I would post after the weekend. I thought about it, and just didn't know what to say. Not that I didn't have a good weekend ~ I did! I loved every bit of it! Except the parts I don't remember. (That's another story). I couldn't focus. (what else is new?) I was reading other blogs and feeling quite inadequate about what I was going to write.
