The Journey
July 28th, 2010
For last year’s words belong to last year’s language. And next year’s words await another voice. And to make an end is to make a beginning. – T.S. Eliot
I love organized. I love simple. Therefore, I love quotes. For me, quotes are a gift from those who have had a deep (usually) thought and figured out how to write it simply while maintaining a meaning which others can relate to.
And speaking of speaking of organized and simple…Last week, I logged on to here after months and months of being away. I did some maintenance work to the blog, made some administrative changes to the format and spent some time reflecting on how this site started.
Years ago, there was a daytime reality TV show called, Starting Over. According to Wikipedia, “Starting Over is an American reality TV show that follows the lives of women who are experiencing difficulty in their lives and want to make changes, with the help of life coaches. It was the first reality TV show to be nominated for a Award. Six women at a time work to overcome obstacles and meet personal goals. When it is determined that a woman has met all her goals, she “graduates” from the house and is replaced by a new roommate. On the other hand, if it’s determined that she’s not met her goals, she could be put on probation, or even asked to leave.”
The show made me realize that every woman has a story. And herjourney.com was born out of the desire to share those stories, that journey. Several years after inception, Her Journey has moved away from a forum based site and has evolved into a blogging site. And as this site returns to the basics, the reason it was created – I am looking forward to the journey…
