I thought I'd get to this first blog attempt earlier today but it took over 3 hours to come up with a color theme, font, layout, background, nostalgic vs humorous vs sophisticated feel, ad nauseum. Been thinking about starting this blog for a long time; all the witticisms, observations and opinions I can throw on the page to deplete a mind that doesn't seem to tire at the same rate as the rest of my body. And instead I stared at this intimidating box - TITLE: - completely overwhelmed. Oh boy, this has to be deep, this has to say something about who I am and what I believe and what I am passionate about AND be so darn creative it will trigger incredible posts which flow from my keyboard in the coming days.
I stared at TITLE: for about 30 minutes, then started trying on phrases and as has happened before, I found myself in Dr. Suess' neighborhood. Dr. Suess had it going on. Why you can find every social and spiritual challenge overcome in the Dr. Suess collection. Bigotry, exclusion, selfishness, despotism, acceptance, forgiveness, redemption, why even the Grinch was loved into wholeness. His characters led us to being fearless to turn the page because we learned that whatever is going to happen is a natural progression moving us in our story. And there was that same discovery awaiting us in the end - that all is well in this strange colorful upside down world, a world in which the small bits and bytes make no sense whatsoever. Perfect for a blog.
