Clicks 3 and 4

So you missed posting something last week, I am telling the voices. You were talking to people and playing with your kids instead of typing. No big deal.

Click #3:  Sometimes you might not do a thing that you promised yourself you'd do. It's because you're a human and you have a BABY in your home.

I remember a Little House on the Prairie episode where Laura runs away to find God and she climbs up these big rocks and feels like she's closer and closer, because she's literally on higher ground and closer to heaven. I guess I am doing the same thing, kind of.

I have decided to join the temple and raise our kids Jewish. It's a long, boring story, but I'm Catholic and my husband's Jewish, and we're going with Jewish. I love religion. I love belonging to something. I love the music and I love that you get to just sit there and think about things and unwind. But I don't always love meeting new people. I am usually great with first impressions for some reason, but then the more I know someone I feel like I have to always keep being funny and "on" or they won't like me anymore. So I am stepping into a new community of people, unsure of myself.

Also, I'm a writer. So that means I don't just get to sit and write all day (maybe someday it will). That means I teach writing classes, write book reviews, and direct high school musicals? YES. That's what it means right now.

Click #4:  Starting new things is SCARY and it will always be for you but remember that you LOVE it and that it will bring you to where you want to be. Period.
