I Am

I am a collector. 

Not of tangible things, but of talents, interests, and capabilities instead.  I have always hid my collection under a bushel.  I never had the confidence to just let what I am shine.  These days I am very tired with my obligations and realize that hiding is very exhausting as well.  By shear desperation I have learned that what I am allows me much pleasure and respite from my ofttimes daunting tasks.  I will no longer fear imperfection and judgement.  So here I am...

I am an interior designer

I am a photographer

I am an organizer

I am a singer, a musician, and song writer

I am a teacher, a presenter, and a leader

I am an athlete and a dancer

I am a poet and a writer

I am creative and artistic

just to name a few...

With this blog I intend to share many of these things I am with you.  It is scary and leaves me feeling unguarded and exposed, but I am determined to stop hiding.  I would be a hypocrite if I only valued seemingly perfect people.  It is those with  unashamed imperfections whose judgements I value most.   And now my light is on and burning brightly.

I am...beginning my journey!
