I turned 29 and turned the pages of modernity from private  journaling to public blogging.  After blogging a few entries on our family website, it just seemed more fitting to have my own cyber “pages” to type thoughts that are purely mine, not necessarily a reflection of our family as a whole.  So, i tried to come up with some fancy name for my personal blog; “mummylyda” or “sophiadawning” (my christian name) or “chronicles of motherhood”.  In the course of picking a title, I decided that i didn’t necessarily want to limit my blog to motherhood.  while this is the most consuming aspect of my life at present, it may not always be the most central theme of my blogging.  Perhaps I may write more about other topics, marriage, writing, orthodoxy, or perhaps the blog will assume a purpose beyond my current imaginings.  As of now, I simply want an avenue to write where the art of writing itself doesn’ t have to be such an introverted and lonely pursuit.  It is my hope that in the course of googling, someone might stumble upon my blog who shares a similar experience with me.  While I am new at this, it is my intention to be as honest and real as possible, even at the risk of embarassment and blushing.  Wish me well in my new venture!  More to come soon . . .
