what this is all about

The idea for this blog came as a suggestion from a friend. It was a new thought for me, but after thinking about how I'm not a great communicator and have lost contact with old friends, I decided to try it as a way of keeping in touch. Writing has always been easier for me than speaking and maybe putting my thoughts and experiences into written words will prove to be therapeutic. Since I'm not on the journey of typical Mennonite housewife and mom, I feel like it can be hard to relate to my peers. Now that I no longer teach school, contact with my church sisters has diminished to basically nothing except for brief words on the Sundays I don't have to work. Although I'm generally content with my life, I do wish I would be able to connect with others better. At this point, I'm not sure what all I'll be writing about on this blog. It may be part diary, inspiration, confession... I'll see what works for me! Hopefully I'll come up with at least one post a week.
