As you probably haven't noticed, (since I only have 2 followers!) that I've been gone for quite some time! Long enough for my sister to have moved to Miami, and long enough for me have visited her there 7 times. (so far!). Long enough for my friend to get pregnant aaand have a handsome baby (Hi Julian!) and long enough that I am engaged and planning our wedding.
crazy.
I never thought I would get married. but I always envisioned taking someone else's last name. Ironically, I will be doing the former but not the latter.
I've needed to do so much self-help googling in the past few months, in between all of pinterest pages and knot budget calculating, and cyber-trips to Oregon, if you could peek a glimpse at my google bar you'd find some pretty disturbing queries! I'll leave them up to your imagination. But i will say this: This blog always finds its way to my inbox at the perfect time. It might not be for everyone. It's definitely not for the person whose sole purpose in life is to get married to someone (anyone!) and live happily ever after. It is for us, the anxious people of planet earth who know that relationships and marriage don't automatically equal harmony and bliss. That sometimes, relationships create anxiety and fear and doubt. It's about learning how to be open to and feel those dark places inside of us. For that is from where true growth and healing emerges.
Another blog I've been super addicted to is Bubby and Bean and it is mainly for this reason that I have decided to blog again. Bubby and Bean makes me feel so good about life! I imagine Melissa, the blog's owner, sipping chamomile tea on her porch with all the windows open while listening to velvet Underground and composing her daily blog updates. It's an inspirational blog on all accounts and she has really fantastic taste. Check it out!
Until next time keep it on love,
Tasha
