Hello!
Blogging is something that has intrigued me in the past, and I even tried it out once, with less than optimal results. (Try, lack of posting and trying too hard to be "inspirational".) I've been following Cari Donaldson (Clan-Donaldson.com) and Dwija Borobia (HouseUnseen.com) for a little while now, having discovered them on Catholic Exchange. I know I will never be as funny or poignant as either of them, but I see in them, and other Catholic Mommy Bloggers that combination of "road to holiness" and "real person" that I want to be. Seeing Jennifer Fulwiler of ConversionDiary.com on Life on the Rock was kind of the clincher for me. I yearn for that "water-well" community she spoke about, of women and mothers supporting each other through daily life that no longer seems to exist in the real world. And as much as I want life to exist in person, this wouldn't be the first time the internet has brought something real and life-changing into my world. But more on that later...
Who I am: raised in the northern countryside, educated in southwestern cities, one-time opera-diva and concert-pianist wannabe, small-town, cradle-Catholic mother of two.
But I hope this blog will be more about who I'd like to become...
Who I'd like to be: a joy-filled, homeschooling mother of x number of children, imperfect but accepting of myself and moving forward, to reflect, more and more, the brightness of the Lord.
So, if you're reading, welcome! I offer you many "quotation marks", (too many parenthetical comments,) and maybe not a whole lot of profundity, but, to the best of my ability, the "real" me.
