A message from the Heart of the Hearth

Deep inhale…deep exhale.

And this is where I begin. Deep breathing as I find words to express myself and then share that expression here. Ive wanted a journal here to share my musings for some time now, but I hold back. I tell myself, who would want to read my unpolished writing? Do my stories even matter? Are my musings important? I recently learned that those questions and the voices that they are spoken through inside of me have a name, my i introduce you to my own personal “ Itty Bitty Shity Committee”. I can not coin that term as the name came from my therapist, but oh my what a relief some definition can bring, some naming of what is really going on inside my head! We all have our own Itty Bitty Shity Committee, and mine sure can be loud, and I am really working on my relationship with those ladies, my approach: acknowledgement, compassion and then telling them to please quiet down, as i am here to share my heart in hopes that my stories, experiences and musings may be of value to another, and if not, at-least the process of sharing them is supportive for me.
