Who am I?

"Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves

Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me"


Somewhere In The Middle.....Casting Crowns

Who am I?

It sounds like that should be an easy question. Right?

Well, for me 2008 has been a year of change. It’s been a year of growth and a year of learning; some healing, some bonding and even some pain. I've had a remarkable year! Not necessarily a remarkably good year, or a remarkably bad year really, but a year where I've learned so much about myself and about those I love.

The type of insight that only comes from family illness, high school reunions and lost (or barely hanging on by a string) love and friendship; highs created in anticipation of fabulous plans for the future, and lows, as I realize just how much I still struggle with things from my past. Yes, this year I've had way too many "AHA" moments.

So who am I?

I’m not entirely sure that I know the answer to that one yet….but one thing that I can tell you, for me, it has become increasingly important that I find out!

And so the journey begins………

There is soooo much that I want to share; but all in due time.

I guess the first thing that you should know about me is that I am a 43 years old. I’m a single and heterosexual (can I say that one again? Just to make sure you get it. Yes, very heterosexual) woman. No spouse and no children, and no overwhelming desire to be “in a relationship”. Apparently, this in itself makes me quite unique.

I am happy!

.......But I'm also somewhere in the middle! "Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more. Somewhere in the middle… You'll find me."
