It's Been Awhile

I've been really active on social media and with roots-creative.com but figure it's time to start writing about adventures again... mostly because of Margo.

Margo is the baby in my belly.

She should be here in about a month.

Oh. My. Dog.

Something about her immanent arrival reminds me of preparing to leave for Asia. The unknowns create in me an excited energy that easily lead to worry. I'm asking big questions again. I find myself looking at the broad picture of our lives at the end of this season and acknowledge that change is coming. Just like I wondered who I would become after living overseas, I wonder who will I be when I have a child.

This time, it's a permanent adventure. It's like I'm getting married to someone I've never met before. More than that, my every word and action will shape her. My beliefs will most likely become her beliefs. My bad habits will most likely become her bad habits. Gosh, I hope she doesn't bite her nails like her mama.

Welcome to this new adventure. Welcome to my processing.
