A New Day Has Come - Bloom Where Planted

Bloom Where Planted

A New Day Has Come

1/7/2019

Whomever made the astute observation that we all of us “pay for our raising” deserves a peace prize.

I love my babies with every fiber of my being. But, sometimes? Sometimes my Middle Child’s behavior makes me look back on my life and recount to myself (while simultaneously holding my breath and trying not to move) all the rotten, underhanded, hateful, and distasteful things I have ever done. What an evening. The babysitter’s probably traumatized, sworn off having kids of her own, like, ever, and this is the earliest I’ve been ready for bed since kindergarten. Laaand o’ Goshen!!! Ohhh, and Tuesdaaaaay? I’m coming for YOU, and you have been dutifully warned.

My name is Elizabeth, and I come bearing gifts. I have a story to tell, you see. Several stories, really. I joke that writing is cheaper than therapy, and it is true that writing has been life-changing for me in so many ways.

I want you to feel free to click the YouTube arrow to play the music while you're indulging yourself here. Go ahead, put it on loop for the time it takes you to read the entire passage. I promise, you won't be sorry. Why, I listen on loop as I write these memories, these scenarios, these monumental lessons of my life. You know, so I can feel the music inside of me. It is my belief that we, all of us, have memories linked to the things we love most: Beauty, Food, Scent, Touch, and Sound.

With this blog, it is my intention to honor those memories through the five senses. We will explore together a little bit of art, food, smelly-goods, tactile pleasures, and melodies that take us allllll back, all the way back. I invite you to come along for the drive, so to speak, because I have lots to talk about. And of course, as someone who wants to be your friend, I want to know how you feel, too, because in kindergarten we learned that this is how a friendship works...give and take. Are you with me?

Alrighty then. Let's Do This!
