No. I won't.
As a matter of fact, as I am in the middle of typing, my dog keeps shoving her nose under my arm, commanding my attention. Forget this, she deserves a nice, long walk.
7:47 a.m. ET - Back to my point
Yes, there is a point. My past blogs have been overly planned, with catchy titles that I've pondered for weeks. They've been meant to reflect some portion of my life: my career, attempts to be a supermom, or all of the truths I have figured out. I usually abandon them quickly, after I no longer fit the mindset I was in at that point in time.
But, when I think back, the common thread I see in those blogs is contradiction. That's me, that's who I have always been. The woman, the career professional, the geek, the mom, the former athlete, the person who keeps striving for perfection. There's nothing wrong with any of that.
Right now, I am very into yoga, and perhaps that, especially the concept of mindfulness, influences some of this mindset.
I don't need to have all the answers. I'm finding power in admitting I don't know. "I don't know" can be an active decision reached through exploring possibilities and being open. In elementary school, we learn that Christopher Columbus was a brave man who discovered the new world because isn't that story just easier than this?
I'm still learning to articulate this mindset with confidence. This blog is a frankenstein of my interests, experiences and moments of finding myself in a new city. It might reflect my feelings and frustrations, as this post has, but more likely, it will be pictures of people, cooking, festivals, and every day moments that, however small, are pretty amazing.
