Indigo Butterflies takes it's name from the indigo blue butterfly tattoo on my right shoulder blade. That tattoo symbolizes my need to grow and reach beyond my everyday life; to see the amazing world around me and experience it fully. I wanted a tattoo when I was twenty. I finally got one when I was forty-two. Let that sink in for a minute... It took me twenty-two years to work up the nerve to get a tattoo. Granted my interest waxed and waned over the years, but yeah, twenty-two years.
While the needle was buzzing and stinging my back, I kept thinking "It hurts, but it's not that bad.". Things are almost never that bad. I realized that I could settle for life the way it was or take a chance on the unknown and see what happened. I chose to take more chances; to put myself out there and live life. This blog is one of those chances. So I will post whatever inspires and moves me and we will see what happens.
"I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work." ~ Thomas Edison.
The choice to create this blog, take more chances and reach out to this world may have been mine, but I have had buckets full of support, encouragement, and love from my friends and family. I did not get here on my own. (Thanks A.)
