Revert to Draft...

I began this blog in 2009.  I have written fairly regularly; even if every post never made it to publish.  I need to change things now.  The tone of Barely Balanced Belle needs to shift just a bit.  Although I truly enjoy writing about Tervis and Junior League, my life is less of that these days.

I wanted to reserve this blog as a happy place.  I wanted to write under a new name.  Instead, I came back here because there are few words that summarize what I need in my life right now like the word "balance."  Although, I am embarrassed to lay down the letters and numbers of a black and white truth, my gut says, "do it."

I don't know if my story will reach a single person.  I just know that I need to write it here.  I need to organize my chaos in the form of blogger bullet points.  I don't want to burden anyone with my negative experiences.  I simply want to record my life in a way that forces me to stop hiding from it.  I want to work out the bad stuff in a public way so it doesn't feel like such a shameful secret.

I'll start soon.  It's a busy day today.  Hopefully, I stay on task and can be back to write more this afternoon.  In the mean time, I have clicked "revert to draft" on all of my old posts.  I may re-activate them in time but, for now, I feel better only being represented by the new words I'm putting on this page.  I'm thankful for the outlet.  I'm grateful for the opportunity.
