Solitude

You haven't heard from me in a while, I know. I'm not writing to apologize for that, but rather, to express a small part of what's going on over here.

I have felt a strong desire to withdraw lately, to spend my free hours in solitude. There is so much brewing in my mind and soul, and I want to give that the attention it deserves. I have big hopes and dreams for this year, and they are so new, I want to hold them and protect them. That's why I haven't posted them here yet.

I am hopeful, content, excited, and scared. It's as if I am a little caterpillar about to burst open into a big new life. Right now, in this moment, I am savoring the comfort and security of the cocoon.

I have so much to share with you, so many wonderful thoughts and ideas and dreams and stories. But for now, just know that as I quietly hold my dreams close to my heart, I am thinking of you and believing in your dreams too.

Love to all.
