Welcome

Welcome to my new blog. I have created this space as part of an effort to live life with more intentionality. I have the tendency at times, as many of us do, to float through life like Lamar Odom can float through a basketball game. I would like to take more time to reflect on moments of significance, which I already do at times - but this will give me to opportunity to do so publicly (and intentionally). And that's where you come in!

So please, respond at will. I would love for you to respond to something and anything I write. Like, seriously. Just respond. That way it won't feel like I'm just talking to myself. I do enough of that already without having to type it out. I know you have thoughts in that brain of yours. You can even respond to this introduction if you like.

By the way, if you couldn't tell already, this post represents the very beginning of my blog. So if you are completely fascinated with my wit and must read every thought that proceeds from my mind, you have reached the end. :) You must now go elsewhere. A couple suggestions:

  1. You tell people to respond so you aren't talking to yourself. I respond to that with the following: What's wrong with talking to yourself? I don't mean the many voices in one's head, but just talking out loud and listening to yourself. I do this frequently, and for many reasons. One, I know that I'll listen, as many people don't truly listen. Especially good friends on the cellular telephone. Also, I find myself less stressed when I talk to myself. Almost as if inner feelings, whether positive or negative, are released, and I just feel better. I'll write more later, it's time for a nap.

  2. Oh yeah, is it possible for you to find a creepier, more disturbing photo of yourself for your profile?

  4. I already stated that i talk to myself plenty the way it is, without having to type it out. In no way did I indicate that there is something wrong with this practice. On the contrary, in fact, I nearly condoned it. I just don't feel the need to type out these self-directed conversations. In any case, I am sorry about your terribly insensitive friend, whomever that may be.
