Finding my temporary temple...

I started this blog today as an escape from this busy thing called life. I realized that I was tired of waking up  each day feeling the exact same way, whipping my hair up into that same old ponytail, and listening to those same songs. I felt trapped in the routine of what I have always done and always been.  So I have decided to take on a challenge to try something new everyday, to find more freedom in who I am. Whether it be a new hairstyle, a new restaurant, a new song, or a new outfit, I am going to experiment with what I don't know and what I still need to experience. And don't think that this is something where I will act like someone I am not. I do not want to be emotionally unauthentic. All I expect from this is to discover how to express myself to those around me and find out more about who I  really am. I guess the only way to do that is to just dive straight in and find out exactly what I am not. As far as I am concerned, I am blank slate right now.

  1. Love this experiment, Kate. Go for it. Even like the outfit. But, please know, you are anything but a blank slate. You may be an unfinished canvas, but you have lots going on already.

  2. You are a beautiful tapestry; woven together with many strands of life experiences that make you unique. There's certainly nothing wrong with trying new things;but, know you are loved and adored for who you are right now. You can change outward appearance with hair and clothes all you want... your inner beauty will shine through!
