this little, big life

I changed the look around here...again...for the last time.  No I swear. 

You're going to see more of me these days.

Because I'm not embarrassed to have a blog anymore.

Yes, I was totally embarrassed.

I wanted to do something different to jump-start me into finding my intent with blogging.  

Intent is my new word these days.  

Intent, to me, means to have meaning, significance and purpose behind the things I do, the direction of my walk, the amount of Reese's peanut butter cups I eat, the power of my foot against the gas pedal or, in other words, the life I live.  

My blog is no longer "one part powerful, one part pitiful" because nothing about my story is pitiful, I just felt pitiful telling it.  

And I stole the quote from Ani DiFranco anyway.

This, is my little, big life.  

I'm 26 years young but it's a life packed with real lessons.  

It's a life full of reasons to have intent.  

My hope is that this blog serves as a card in my nieces and nephews and daughter's rolodex. 

A place to refer to.  Seek from.  And find their own intent in the story that came before them.
