I was going to call this blog "The Gray Area" but I thought the name was a bit too... drab. The reason behind the name is because so much of my life has been black or white, right or wrong, good or bad, all or nothing. I have either had to be perfect or a total failure. To me, this blog will be about discovering that I can have hiccups along the way down the path of life but that doesn't mean I have to stop. I met with a wise man today and we talked about learning to love and to not be so damn hard on ourselves. We try, and oftentimes we succeed at what we set out to do. But when we do not see success the world is not over. There will always be another time to try, another day to come. It reminds me of a quote I recently saw and absolutely adore:
I love this quote and I am making this the topic of my blog. Why "The Wide Blue Yonder?" Well, simply because I like the color blue. It's the color of the ocean, the bright summer (and the crisp autumn) sky; it's the color of a robin's egg. That's why. But also because there is so much to discover each day and so much out there in the world that I haven't even experienced. And I want to experience more out of life. Plus, "yonder" is just the coolest word!
Be well on your journey and inspire creativity and love in someone you meet today. Be an example.
