Beginning

This is my new blog and I will be using this space to share my thoughts, experiences, memories, lessons, and dreams.  After five years of blogging on WordPress, I put my blog to rest in 2016. I have been silent for a while and that has been quite an experience, but I feel the sap rising again and the call to pick up my writing where I left off.

This first blog is an introduction to me, your blogger, Once you know what makes me hum, you can decide whether you would be interested in following this blog. I am open to suggestions and comments, however I do ask that you be kind with your words.  

 With that said, I invite you to make yourself comfortable while I tell you a little about myself, Brenda Marie Lightfeather Marroy.

I AM a word nerd, an organic gardener, an author, a Guardian ad Litem (court appointed special advocate to abused and neglected children), an animal lover, an avid reader, a student and lover of life, and a soul on a healing journey. Sometimes I am forgetful, judgmental of myself, and uninspired. Other times, when I remember who I am, I love and appreciate myself in all of my imperfections and fears, I have great memory recall, I know I am an important piece of the whole, and I am so inspired my hands cannot type fast enough.

I APPRECIATE the smell and feel of rain on my face, sunrises and sunsets, a cold dirty martini, well-prepared food, a nice black dress, the sound of birds singing, and kind people.

I LEAN TOWARDS the downtrodden and oppressed, minorities, simplicity, speaking my truth,introspection, and quiet.

I HAVE BEEN BLESSED with a husband and a family who love me, many awake, aware women friends, two beautiful cats, Merlin and Mystic, who own a piece of my heart, a good mind, and simplicity of heart.

I FANCY MYSELF to be a writer,  a transformation and awareness facilitator, a good cook, a supportive and loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and a true friend.

I SHY AWAY FROM verbose people, haughtiness, gossips, liars, narcissists, and self-proclaimed gurus and healers.

I ASPIRE to be kind, compassionate, accepting, and loving.

I RECALL the journey I have taken to get to this beautiful place and time in my life, many fun and exciting motorcycle rides with my beloved husband and sweetheart, Paul, my honeymoon in Ireland, and the lessons I have learned along the way.

I hope you enjoy my blog.  I do love hearing from those who read the words I so carefully place on the page, so please leave a comment and tell me a little about yourself.
