Aha! I Have to Start a Blog!

                          (View from my recent Port Townsend beach house retreat. So good for my soul!)

I recently left my corporate PR job at a really big amazing coffee company to spend more time with my daughter and to figure out what I want to do next – what feeds my soul. While on a walk this morning (by myself), I was struggling with a professional decision and a potential personal decision. My mind was full – it hurt, I felt anxious.  I made a decision to stop thinking about the decisions and to enjoy my walk.  The sun was shining in my face – I was following it, soaking up the Vitamin D that I need so badly.  I let my mind go and the idea for this blog literally popped into my mind. I had an Aha moment.  I never imagined writing a blog. But it became evident quickly that this is something I couldn’t not do. (Proper grammar: I had to do it!) I walked fast to get home to start writing.  

So, here are some of the things that came to mind immediately that I plan to cover in this blog, as long as they continue to feed my soul.

·         Going for a walk – BY MYSELF

·         Family

·         Friends – old and new

·         Flowers

·         Riding my bike

·         Flying a kite

·         Travel – near and far

·         Paris

·         Cards – in my mailbox

·         Creative People

·         Entertaining – and being entertained

·         Amazing Women

·         Giving and receiving

·         Color – especially orange, but I am not exclusive

·         Cool Products for a Cause

·         Dancing

·         Good Books

·         Good Magazines

·         Going to Church

·         My Morning Devotional

·         Neighborhood Restaurants (favs: Volunteer Park Café, Café Lago)

·         My Friends’ Blogs

·         Changing Seasons

·         Lake Tahoe

·         The Arboretum

·         The Wine Guy (will explain later!)

·         Bluebirds

I’d love to hear from you what feeds your soul, too.
