The word 'anchor' has been making random appearances in my brain lately. Tapping at my thoughts as if hoping to be let in. And I can't help but think it's no coincidence. That maybe the universe is giving me a nudge. A well meaning "Hey Ruth, get yourself together!" Telling me that perhaps it's time to anchor myself. To float back down from the clouds, dock and realign my path.

Cue the birth of this blog. A place for me to write, release, and move on.

While some might find a stiff drink, a joint, or even a good book does the trick, my calm comes from purging the chaos in my brain. A good writing binge turns confusion into clarity. Answers often magically appear as my angst overflows onto the page. And the whirlwind once trapped in my head dissipates into a stream of rational and sanity.

Everyone needs an outlet whatever it may be, and today I'm making mine this blog. Not a spiral bound notebook or a journal shoved under my mattress, a blog. For anyone to read. And not that I think I'm great and wonderful and should be heard, it's more that I assume nothing inside my head is unique to me. I'm human and can't imagine anything I say will shock.

Plus I love sharing my thoughts and revelations! So the idea that maybe just one person could benefit from something I've written, makes me happy.

So by all means, subscribe if you'd like to come along for the ride.
