I literally can’t remember the last time I wrote the Sound Bytes of the Week. Although that doesn’t mean much, because I can’t remember my kids names, what I ate for breakfast or the date.
My lack of Sound Bytes hasn’t been purposeful – well maybe subconsciously. My brain just hasn’t been able to fit it in lately. This little blog of mine has been bombarded with posts that have been supporting my fashion, triathlon and Target habits instead of posts that have filled my creative bucket.
It’s time to write again.
Like REALLY, REALLY, REALLY {times infinity REALLY} write. So, amidst some sponsored posts about cute jewelry and which cellphone apps you should use there WILL {I promise} be more soul writing.
I’ll warn you that it may not make sense, it may {will} be full of grammatical errors {I hate commas} and lots of these little dots…
There may be days I just pick a meme from a book and write it out. When I do I hope you will join me…that would be fun.
Otherwise, just read, and soak up the words.
Often the world of blogging becomes less about words and more about things. Like Pinning, Tweeting, Instagramming and the words that were so carefully crafted turn into an afterthought.
My words and the words of my children will not longer be an afterthought. I will continue writing, and listening, so stories, Sound Bytes and souls can be shared.
Are you ready? Here we go!
3. “Pink is the color of love.”
Wise words from my seven year old…he also said he wanted to wear pink every day. Love him…
2. “Why does that lady have tweezers to eat her food?”
Little Red has never seen chopsticks before. However, the resemblance to giant tweezers is uncanny.
1. “Daddy you filled my bucket last night when you let me cuddle in bed during the storm.”
And cue heart melting. I also have a whole blog post percolating on being a bucket filler.
Well, my friends THANK YOU for reading, and here’s to more words to come.
Have a GREAT Memorial Day.
