The Journey Begins

This blog is a project I have been dreaming up for quite sometime now. I want to start by telling a little about myself. This a blog that centers on me, my life, my views, my beliefs. This blog is not meant to pass judgment on anyone, nor invite judgement into my life.

I consider myself a Humanist. I live in TN and was raised Christian. The majority of people around me are Christian, often making it difficult to express myself. I am a big believer in the separation of church and state.

In June 2009, I gave birth to the most perfect baby boy that has ever existed. I had no clue what I was doing. Twenty months later (to the day!), I still do not profess to know everything. However, I do know more than than I did then. I strive to learn something new everyday, whether it be on a global or personal level.

I still breastfeed my son. I do not know when we will stop. I am a firm believer in child led weaning, as long as the Mommy and baby are both happy. I understand that many people do not share this view. I also know that I am Ro's only Mommy, so it does not really matter to me that many others have opposing views.

I am a lover of the Earth and natural things. I try to do my part, but I am by no means perfect. I am not 100% green. I do: recycle, cloth diaper, use CFLs, use cloth napkins, and make my own soap. I rather enjoy my newfound freedom from chemicals in soaps/shampoos/cosmetics.

I find much of my inspiration in Kurt Vonnegut. I find humor in hipsters. I like to watch way too many silly television shows. I am a random assortment of silly and serious.

I hope each of you will find something you enjoy here. I'll be in touch.
