I have had a lot of "impressions" recently. I don't know that I would call them spiritual impressions, but more just thoughts. Thoughts I would like to place on paper somewhere. A blog is basically free paper and it doesn't take up any space. I don't have to pack it around with me on all our moves. I don't have to wonder "now, where did I put that thing?" and I can type much faster than I can write. So, here goes....
I ran into a blog the other day that featured a Mom being very honest about Motherhood. While she was overall very positive, she kinda "called-out" all those moms who put on a good face because it's what's expected. Or rather, it's what they think is expected of them. I was overjoyed to discover that I am not the only mother who finds motherhood very frustrating, and at times, very very lonely and daunting. I was also totally un-impressed by her choice of words and "language" which is why I am not posting a link to the blog. In short, I loved her honesty.
While perusing my FB this morning (5-16-2012), I found another link to a blog that was promoting "real" beauty. I loved it. It was exactly what I needed to hear this morning. It's what I've been needing to hear for several weeks now. Actually, deep inside, I've KNOWN what this blog was talking about is true for a long time now. It just hit home this morning. Hard.
So, I decided to make a second blog. A mostly picture-free blog. A blog where I can be honest. A place that will kind of serve as a journal and a life-sketch of sorts. I plan on back-tracking, talking about things that occurred in my past and have helped shape who I am today, and things that are happening in my here and now. My life. My reality. ....and it "Has 2 Faces."
Warning: there will be things that come up that some of my readers may not agree with or even appreciate. But guess what?! It's MY blog. I can post whatever I want. For the "other face" of my life, check out my other blog at www.violetteichert.blogspot.com
