Hi friends!
Today is Mardi Gras and, silly me, I just learned that Mardi Gras actually MEANS "Fat Tuesday" -- ha ha! I've got New Orleans jazz on the pandora and had pancakes (wheat-free) for lunch along with some homemade apple blueberry sauce. It's nice to celebrate.
On the way to work I was reflecting on a blog that a friend just started and also on the experience of sharing my writing about becoming a new mom. The thought wafted through my little brain as I was waiting for the "walk" sign that maybe Lent would be a good time to start my own blog about all the subjects under the sun that I think about and sometimes want to share.
By the time the "walk" sign changed, I decided to follow that wafting thought, if for no other reason than I normally wouldn't follow through. After all, Lent is a time for reflection and writing seems an entirely appropriate way to reflect.
There is also discipline to Lenten practice, and my discipline is to write for at least 15 minutes each day (for the 40 days of Lent) Monday through Friday on this blog. I'll do it at work, since I love to find small and big ways to jab back at the capitalist machine, and also since I used to (with permission) pump breast milk for 20 minutes each morning and afternoon while at work and it didn't hurt my productivity one bit.
And also because, if you want change in your life, walk into it.
I look forward to sharing with you and invite comments, feedback, conversation.
Peace,
Briana
Yay, I'm first! I like this idea. I have less than 24 hours to think of things I could do for Lent. There's so many areas of my life that need attention, it is hard to select one thing! -- Delia
