i recently attended my first work related conference and felt pretty out of sorts.  because i chose to do a 180 on my “career”, it was so strange and inspiring to be in a room full of passionate people doing it for the cause.   i got teary eyed at least three times during various presentations.  i had no idea that there were so many people looking to make a difference in peoples lives.  i want to be one of those people.

so here i am, back at the blog.  i don’t know that i can or will make a difference in peoples lives by blabbing on about my ridiculous stories and half assed photos.  but at least i’m doing something.  one tiny little thing that i can barely keep up with on a daily monthly basis.  i’ve been avoiding this space for a while because i had nothing positive to say, or at least that’s what it felt like.  the wedding planning and fears combined with adapting to a new job have put me in an officially freaked out state of mind.  my chit chat with others these days is about the tv shows we have in common.  yikes.

i took this photo a few weeks ago and have been meaning to do something with it.  tonight it seems like the right image to add to the mix.  a quick wikipedia search about bleeding hearts turned up this:

More generally, it also describes someone who is emotionally concerned about a person, idea, or event but still refuses to act.

interesting…
