Lightening Crashes

3/30/2018

Scrolling through my newsfeed, I notice March 16 has been an important day for so many. Announcement of an addition to our own family in 2012 (and 1 week later discovered it was twins), birth of baby Remy Elizabeth Ann, and an adoption. And a sweet young lady I know, Miss Kelsey Ray, is right now in the hospital, quite possibly in the throes of labor. Surely there have been many more sacred moments on this very day, too. My own husband today said farewell to a friend he has known practically all his life. Do you ever wonder, 'Why today, God? What makes this day deserving of such miracles, of such events that transpire and work together and evolve, sure as the earth spins?' To everything, there is a season. And, while some may not agree, it is my belief that for everything, there is a reason.

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!
