Time has a way of hustling us along in a fog of busyness. One moment we are in one point in time and then at the next moment, a flash of clarity, a sense of just waking up and years, yes years, have passed. Personally, I feel that I have drifted from my true love, the thing that makes my heart sing, the thing that gets my blood pulsing and my eyes flashing and my brain ticking away faster and faster-- reading and writing, writing and reading, and yes, I am a firm believer that to do one is to have to be completely and utterly intertwined and entrenched in the other. They are yin and yang. But, my life has set me adrift, and not necessarily in a bad way, but like my posts from years past, I've gotten into that misguided place where I am imbalanced. I've been busy with my three children and my husband and my dog and everything else that makes the world go 'round and I've not carved out enough time for myself to do the things that I've always had in my heart to do. Perhaps this has something to do with the fact that we are heading into the holiday season at the end of yet another year, perhaps it is because I am staring a birthday in the face accepting a number of years that utterly shocks me seeing as how I feel like I am so very much not a true Grown Up, hardly Adult in my opinion, but there it is-- I must be; perhaps I am finally taking to heart all the inspirational podcasts and sermons with which I try to encourage myself, all those things. So here it is. I'm back. This needs to be a writing outlet for me. It just does. And not that I am so arrogant or prideful to think that I have something that people would desperately want to read (if that happens then I'll gladly take it), but more because if I don't write, than I feel that a part of my soul with simply vanish. I need this. Even if it is for selfish reasons and a if reader would prefer not to waste precious, precious time on my ramblings, then I encourage you, dear Reader, to pursue something that lifts your spirits instead... This is lifting mine as I tap and click.
Here now, you shall find my honest book reviews, excerpts from what I may be reading, highlighting my favorite writers, book blogs, podcasts, and other things that spark a light of creativity.
Today is Monday. It's as good a start as any other. Carpe diem and all that, right?

So, if you are so inclined, follow along as I begin the (re?) invention process, the construction of this part of my world that I've left painfully bare for far too long.
