I'm Coming Out

5/26/2019

I think midlife is when the universe gently places her hands upon your shoulders, pulls you close, and whispers in your ear: “I’m not screwing around. It’s time all of this pretending and performing – – these coping mechanisms that you have developed to protect yourself from feeling inadequate and getting hurt – – have to go.
Time is growing short. There are unexplored adventures ahead of you. You can’t live the rest of your life worried about what people think. You were born worthy of love and belonging. Courage and daring are coursing through you. You were made to live and love with your whole heart. It’s time to show up and be seen.“.

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!
