so they can really know me.

I’ve been struggling with my why.

Why I blog.  I needed to get it down, in words, so I could understand it.  So I could have a focus.  Something to look back on when I’m not sure where to go next or if I should share something.

Because there is lots I don’t share.

I felt once I could voice my why, I’d be ready to write again. 

But what ended up happening was someone else had the words, I just needed to stumble upon them.

“The Mom Stays in the Picture” by Allison Tate is my why.

I write for my daughters.

So they can know me when I’m gone.  And while I hope that is in a very long time, I don’t really have control over it.

And I want them to know me.  Really know me.

So maybe one day, my journey will help them make sense of their own lives.  Because who I am will always be a part of them, the good and the bad. 

Hopefully one day they’ll look back at their mom with kind eyes and see that I did what I thought was best at the time.  And they’ll understand themselves better.  And they’ll be better.

That’s why I blog.

    This is a fabulous reason to write. I love hearing why people write. Makes me think about how I write. I mean I know why I write. But in this instance, my kids will be able to read it one day.. Should I post everything I post?
