This is a note to anybody stopping by who might be interested in
knowing me better. My journal is not blank, it is friends only. My
journal is where I document my experience of living, sort through
things that I find confusing, and at times let off a little steam.
Because my journal is often where I bare my soul, I am careful to whom
I give access. This does not mean I am not interested in meeting new,
interesting people. It does mean that I take my time choosing who I
invite into my world.
People who I choose for friends have a number of identifiable
characteristics. They are introspective, opinionated, willing to
speak their truth in a respectful manner and have a strong commitment
to becoming who they are in life. They hold a variety of political
views, spiritual beliefs, come from diverse backgrounds and a variety
of cultures. They have a strong commitment to community, and family
as they understand it. How they understand family ranges from people
who have been happily married for 50 years, to people like me who are
happily "single" and define family through love and actions rather than
by shared blood alone.
This is my first crack at placing a public post in my journal so
people have some idea what I am about. Comments are welcome. If you
are interested in friending, leave me a comment or feel free to send
me a private message.
