BlissDom 2011

So, I don’t even know where to begin to write a post about what I learned from BlissDom this year.  This was my first blogger conference ever, and I really had no idea what to expect.  I walked in with one blog idea, and walked out with at least two.  I threw business cards together the day before, but at least I brought some.  My to-do list to help this blog stand up to the test of time is endless.  The amount of information dumped into my little notebook is massive.  From the first speaker to the last, I was overwhelmed with inspiration.  I do not know how long it will take for me to set up the blog the way I dream, to write the way I want to write, and to finally tell my loved ones what I am up to.  However, I now know that I have found a community of people that get me in a way that I am not sure I have been gotten in a long time.  That alone is pretty cool.

The Hands

While walking through the mall just before Christmas, my husband and I passed a kiosk in the mall selling multi-colored clay molds.  While the whole idea was pretty cool, these hands in particular kept speaking to me.  Here, let me hold that for you. First of all, they are HUGE, bigger than any hands I have ever seen.  My hands looked like a child when I placed my hands inside these.  It literally felt like He was holding out his hands as a virtual catch-all for my worries.  Even my 10 year old asks to drop off his worries. I could not argue with the overwhelming peace that fell/falls over me when I place my child like hands in these large clay hands.  I know that it is a figurative gesture, but I someone who likes to hold onto everything.  It feels good to have a place that I can drop it as I come in the door.  It is just a shame that my husband thinks they are too creepy to actually keep by the door.

 I am unwritten, can’t read my mind, I’m undefined

I’m just beginning, the pen’s in my hand, ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition, sometimes my tries, are outside the lines

We’ve been conditioned to not make mistakes, but I can’t live that way

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it

Release your inhibitions

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

Feel the rain on your skin

No one else can feel it for you

Only you can let it in

No one else, no one else

Can speak the words on your lips

Drench yourself in words unspoken

Live your life with arms wide open

Today is where your book begins

The rest is still unwritten

Staring at the blank page before you

Open up the dirty window

Let the sun illuminate the words that you could not find

Reaching for something in the distance

So close you can almost taste it
