Getting Real

Well, here we go. Starting something new. Sometimes we just need a change to get creativity flowing again. I just wanted to cut the strings and go free form. Just rambling, which may or may not have something meaningful woven between the lines, but either way, it will be worthy of the time to type out and forever save in cyberspace. I promise it will be fun and funky, honest and real. I will post things that just don't fit on my other blog, but will keep updating the other one when inspired.

So, here's to a blog I might actually write in more than once every few months. Short and sweet - loving it! PS: I will add favorite photos to this blog like this one.
