I'm back. And I'm awesome.

If you had asked me two days ago if I would be writing on Pineapple Lily EVER again, I would have laughed and said NO way, I'm done blogging. Been there, done that.

But here I sit. Typing.

For a year and a half I blogged because I was obsessed with numbers, gaining readers and figuring out who I was. I will be 32 on Saturday and I'm only half sure of who I am.

Mom.
Wife.
Friend.
Daughter.

For YEARS now I have searched for something to keep me creatively stimulated. Blogging did that for me but at the cost of too much time spent away from family, too much stress of trying to be someone I'm not and the heart ache of losing numbers just because I didn't post something for a week.

All of those things make for a lot of frustration and hands thrown in the air.

This time will be different. I'm determined to use Pineapple Lily as my place of creative stimuli and solitude away from the busy life that surrounds me but at the same time not allowing it to control my life.

I've come and gone, and if you're still reading, or new to reading I'm so incredibly grateful for you.

One of my fave bloggers over at JDC had a post the other day where she had one defining statement that really hit home...

"Just do your thing."
Oh, I'm so going to do my thing.

ps...slowly I will start to bring back old posts, so if you are snooping around trying to find out what I'm all about, I'm sorry, not much to see right now. Stay tuned...the best is yet to come.
