Whisper of Renaissance says to me … new beginnings. I am at a juncture in my life where I need to find new beginnings. I am a wife and mother of three; two beautiful girls, ages 19 and 26; one trying to “find herself’ in her new freedom as a high school graduate and the other about to take on a new role as a wife and an amazing son who lives out his dream in heaven … that of a Catholic priest! So with all my children “leaving the nest”, it is time I now find my life, my passions and my loves. It is also time that I face my fears … fears that I have held onto and who have held onto me. I need to take that risk of leaving my box of comfort. I need to again find, yet, I sometimes wonder if I ever had it, that desire to live life to its fullest. My greatest longing … to discover the little girl inside of me … unafraid of trying, of being different and so fearless! My little girl hid for fear of rejection, stayed quiet for fear of never being heard, and hid talents for fear of being criticized. I have been inspired by so many women I have discovered through these artistic and creative blogs, who have faced their fears and are achieving their life’s dreams. Soon, I will be one of you …
To all those brave men and women who lost their lives on September 11th, and for all the families who lost their loved one ... you will always be remembered.
