As the core values of space2live crystallize, I discover myself.
In 2011’s Best Of post, I stated my intention to be more open in my 2012 writing. I succeeded. I let my sensuality slip out from behind the ornate dressing screen. I revealed my divorce story, despair and all. I admitted my weaknesses and shortfalls when it comes to parenting. I even shared details of my year of exploratory dating.
According to WordPress statistics you guys like to see me prattle on about introverted relationships (romantic and parental), the cool phenomena of peak experiences (one Abraham Maslow’s self-actualiztion), and the intimate and awake aspects of sensuality. Awesome! I never get tired of jabbering about said subjects.

2013 promises to be a year of action, heart work and expansion. I hope to sell and buy a house, find a career path and raise children well.

I value and cherish your presence, whatever form it may take (anonymous reader, occasional commenter or kindred spirit).
Please share with me which topics resonate the deepest with you? Introversion? Divorce? Sensuality? Parenting? Self-Actualization?
You are one of the wonderful gifts of 2012 in my writing world ~ putting in my request for more sensuality! Your writing is luscious and powerful there. I value your openness and tender thoughtfulness. xo
Oooh Ok. Thanks for the sensuality request. I appreciate the feedback. I have some ideas in that arena.:)
Can’t wait to follow you on your journey into 2013. Often your words inspire my words. Love your style and poetic flow.
Thanks for some poignant reads 😉 I’m loving the way your writing flows when I read your articles. It’s almost a sensual act to read here. It’s inspired inspired me to take up reading poetry once a day, to see if any of the poetic elegance rubs off on me and my writing, 😀 All the best.
When I think of it, I try to read poetry before I sit down to write. It does get me in a flow state. Lovely. Thank you for your kind words. I often read Mary Oliver’s poetry. She’s a favorite. May words and sensuality fill you.:)
I cannot wait to see what 2013 holds in your writings! They inspire me each and every time I read and reread them! Thank you for your courage! May 2013 be filled with amazing things that are beyond what you can ask, think or imagine!
That’s what I love about writing Ann. I never know what I am going to say. Sometimes I have to get to the keyboard to figure myself out.;) I hope my 2013 notes provide something useful and meaningful for others as well. Thanks for being so supportive. I truly appreciate your enthusiasm!
Happy New Year, Brenna! I have been absent from the blogosphere for a few months…I hope to rediscover and become re-inspired as 2013 approaches.
I would love to read some suburban dirt.:) Welcome back to the world of blog. I love the writing community and all the inspiration within it. I hope 2013 is insightful and lovely for you. Thanks for touching base. It was good to see your name again.:)
Thanks, Brenna. I actually just read your November 30th post (the “I’m sick of myself…” post) and realized…That’s it! That’s exactly how I felt for awhile and why I stayed away from the blogosphere. I think that when you’re a writer in this day and age of social media and blogging, you almost can’t help but be sick of yourself after awhile! I needed to take a break, focus on work, my kids, etc… I am hoping that the break was long enough that now I will feel renewed and get back to the writing. At any rate, I certainly could relate to your post!
Just you prattling on about any topic is interesting to me Brenna. 🙂 Keep the words rollin’. Happy New Year to you and your family. Dave
Thanks Dave! I look forward to sharing words with you in 2013. Keep on inspiring! Happy New Year to you and yours as well.:)
