The Awakening...

It’s been two years and if you’ve been wondering what the bloody HELL I have been doing with all this time, I’ve returned to provide you an answer.

One day I took a break from writing, and the next thing I knew it was two years later, and A LOT of things had passed. I had been on a journey within a journey. I didn’t really even know that was possible until it happened to me.

So this post is going to be short…not because I don’t have a lot to say because believe me, I do—but rather it’s because I want to do 3 things.

First, I want to apologize for disappearing. In a world where writers can be here one day and then gone the next (even though many of you know right where to find me), it’s not ok to end a story in the middle. I mean, not that I am some great author or anything, but just staying with that example, I would freak out if I was enjoying a story and then it just suddenly stopped because the author was MIA. So for that, I apologize.

Yet, like I said, it was as though I was taking a short break—all the while thinking about what to write about—and  turned around with 2-years behind me. Apparently I needed time to go through some things without an audience (not that you all are peering over my shoulder or anything, but you get my meaning, I think). Things that I am not even sure I am ready to talk about, if I am being honest...yet, there’s a voice deep down that says its time…and it is to that voice that I tend to listen to above all else, lest I bring more trouble onto myself. (I’m sure you have one of those voices yourself). So here I am to tell you the stories that will make you laugh so hard you cry, reflect deeply upon what it is that is important, and maybe even cry with me when the time comes.

Lastly, (I did say 3 things), I am here to invite you to continue on my journey with me. I have not abandoned my yearning for faith, nor have I stopped wondering why I survived that horrible accident. It could be, after all, that the fates spared me that day so that I could talk about my experiences. None of us will ever really know. Yet, I have learned something about being human over the past 2-years that has changed the way I look at each morning.

And to learn that…well…I invite you to come along with me.
