Welcome

Hello, and Welcome to "Who Moved My Brie", my new blog.

I haven't ever blogged before, but I decided to start one for several reasons. First, a good friend started a blog recently, and although I don't have a cute baby that does all sorts of adorable baby things, I thought I might have something to say that others might want to hear (although that's a big maybe!). Also, I used to write in high school, and while my life was alot darker back then and consequently I used writing in a different way, I think I'm in a place now where I would like to try writing on the lighter side of life, to remind myself of who I am and what I am grateful for.

I plan to use this blog as a place to share my thoughts, feelings, daily habits, funny moments, confusions, questions, and gratitudes as I continue my journey in the maze of life. That's why I chose the title for this blog, Who Moved My Brie? It's a play on my name, combined with the fact that I feel like I am trying to figure out not only the location of my "cheese", but what it's made out of, why I want it so badly, and how to live each day with gratitude and joy, even when the cheese seems nowhere in sight. Because in the end, I believe that how we travel through the maze is much more important than how fast we finish and what we find when we get there.

Musings on Mazes:

If you have ever been in a maze, say the kind they make out of hay at the fair, the thing is, for alot of people it can feel very claustrophobic, very confining, just as life often feels like it is closing in on us. But the reality of the situation is that you can always look up and find the sky; there is nothing keeping you in the maze or forcing you to run haphazardly in an attempt to reach the end but your own sense of impending doom. If you simply accept that this is where you are, in the maze, then you can take a moment to look up, and find that there is plenty of space up there, plenty of room to grow and learn.

So welcome to my maze! I hope you enjoy the twists and turns along with me!
