I promised

I did, many months ago that my blogger pals would be the first to know...

well,

I had a date.

It went very well.

We've been talking a lot.

We're seeing each other again tomorrow.

Life is really, amazingly good right now. Have I mentioned that lately?

I'm sorry I haven't posted much, I've been  distracted.

I will get back to regular blogging soon.

Because I have a lot to say.

Life is happening.

Good stuff!

Okay that was a bit more cryptic than some of you were hoping for, I'm sure. I wrote an essay that will explain a lot of my processes. Let me just say this - for the first time in my life, ever, I am awake to the beautiful person that I have become. Those of you who have followed me for a long time know that the weight loss did not bring improved self-esteem right away. Self-love and self-acceptance were milestones that were incredibly difficult for me to reach. I've grown a lot in the past few months, I've left a lot of negativity behind. My health is improving. I am so incredibly grateful for all the blessings I have right now.

I wish I was writing more. I think this is a temporary "basking in the glow" kind of writing break. I journal every day. I have an essay all ready for my next OBG post. But I want more fiction in my life, more words, more time to spend just writing and nothing else. I know I have to make that time. And I will.

I hope that all of you, every one of you, can find a moment of happiness today. I've had many. I am truly blessed.
