My first blog ever!

Today I begin to write again. Today I begin to share my thoughts and feelings and musings and laments about my life. Today I begin. I begin by not being afraid to speak my truth no matter how angry I may be. I am not afraid because through expressing my anger; my emotions I may heal and find the joy that I used to know. To find the sacred in my life once again. Not the sacred learned from my dearest parents; nor the spiritual truths my husband believes may they be his truths.

I am reading a book called "The Sunflower" by Simon Wiesenthal. He was a Jew in a concentration camp taken to the hospital bed of a dying SS member. As he sits by the bed of this dying Nazi, the Nazi asks Simon for forgiveness. I will not tell you the meaning of what the sunflower is; you should read and learn for yourself. After the first part of the book an amazing selection of authors; both religious and non-religious alike share their thoughts and feelings about the subject of forgiveness. I am taken to a place of deep thought of my own as I delve deep into what forgiveness truly means to me as a person; as a woman of faith. A faith of my own. I will share my views as i finish the book for the second time. It is an intense and inspiring book that has taken me on a journey.

I hope that my blog will inspire someone. If not; I hope it will help inspire me to keep writing after many years. I hope with much eagerness to grow in wisdom and love.
