New Beginnings...

Hmmmm, where to start? I guess I'll start from the end...the end of something I once loved and enjoyed very much. I have another somewhat successful blog that I had to bid farewell to after a particularly painful period in my life. For those of us that blog, we've learned the joy it brings by allowing us to express our thoughts and interest as well as the opportunity to meet amazing people from all over the world.

Most blogs are not private and open for anyone to access, typically not a problem for most, but I learned the hard way how our words can be twisted and used against us. My former employer accessed my blog and took something very light-hearted and innocent and tried to use it against me...it turned my world upside down.

I tried to keep my former blog going, but the truth is...it never again felt like mine. I stayed away for months on end, then I would post sporadically, but I was never free to be who I was before and knew it was time to close that chapter of my life and start a new one.  So here I go...perhaps a little more guarded, a lot more private, but ready to explore my journey more than ever! I'm glad you're here...it's going to be A Lovely Journey!!
