Writing again

It's been three years since my last blog. I feel a twinge of sadness that I didn't write for so long, but regret?... no regret... because so much has happened in that time. There were times I  felt I was in a fast-moving carousel and the best thing to do was to remain silent. It was time to enjoy the motion, letting my hair be whipped by the winds of time and change, feeling the breeze of new roles and responsibilities and yet having the assurance that the CENTER held it all together. During the course, round and round the ring of life, there have been joys and laughter, weddings and deaths, pain, betrayal and struggle, new beginnings and old routines. The biggest highlight probably of this time has been the birth of my daughter, Grace. Life has irrevocably changed .. for the better , definitely for the better.... .


And now I feel the urge to write again....


I cannot assure you that I will blog about everything in my life. For one, I'll spare you the boring details, two- the public nature of blogs makes me slightly wary and three, well there are somethings that are just meant to be treasured in the heart.


However, I can assure you of this, I will try to be honest and open in what I do share and I sincerely hope it will be a source of inspiration and encouragement. (P.S - if it doesn't just click on the X on the top right corner of the window and avoid the comments box ;))


I've changed my blog name from "Hilarious Life" to "Shimmer", not because I have stopped learning to laugh in the midst of life but because for me, the sound of laughter is best when it stems from hope, truth, grace and unconditional love, otherwise it rings hollow. And so for this season of writing I want to focus on hope, truth, grace and love - the pillars of my being. However, I assure you there is going to be a lot of laughter as well.


And so brace yourself, for I write again
