Statement of Purpose

I am a writer. Well, not really. Writing is a gift of mind, a talent, a hobby... something like that... Lets call it what it is. Writing is something I'm good at, but I don't do. Like most "writers", I'm to scared, nervous or caught in the moment to reflect on the page. The badge of honor that is "writer" is more like a shield to guard against true self expression and a fortress around the inability to develop the discipline necessary to produce written work.

This blog is an attempt to get out of that bad habit. 30 days, 15 minutes a day. A dream comes through much doing, right?


This blog focuses on relationships. Why? Because we are no one independently, we are identified by our affiliations and associations. You are not "you", you are a daughter, sister, lover, student, employee... each day I'll write about and thus challenge one aspect of my relational life. Your job: fasten your seatbelts, challenge me to be honest with myself, and let me know if these words mean anything to the world outside my head.

    Wow, that should make for most interesting material. Challenge: What does it mean to be a "friend"?

    You know how when you ask people who they "are" men will readily answer with their job title whereas women will respond in terms of relationships... mom, wife, sister etc. I definitely feel like relationships identity consumes me... I think you may be inspiring me to write!
