I’ve been blogging under www.nakedlies.wordpress.com but have changed my blog name. I was living with the “naked lies” of sex addiction which led me to blogging. But sex addiction, and the naked lies I discovered I had been told, were and are not my own. This blog isn’t only about my husband (who I am separated from) and his addiction, it isn’t about his lies, or his recovery.
This is my blog and it is about healing, recovery and creativity. It is about living on earth after going through hell and being raised in hell. It’s about writing as a healing balm and the power of truth telling. It’s about my actual experiences, feelings and insights. I’m in my early 40′s and I’m done with telling myself how I “should” feel or what I wished I were experiencing. I spent my childhood saying, “This IS NOT how life should be.” I spent the 20′s and 30′s saying, “This IS how life should be.” Now, I am writing about life as it is. Sometimes it’s about trauma and recovery, loving an addict and the after math. Other times it’s about parenting, gardening, friendship and gratitude.
Usually, it’s a big giant messy mix of joy, sorrow, delusion and mindfulness, love and hurt. The photo of the sunflower which bends towards the sun, arcs towards nutrients and even after blossoming leaves seeds for birds and future growth is inspirational. Sometimes it’s closed and protective, waiting for the right conditions to emerge, but even in that state, gestating towards opening.
ACK! Please delete my comment asap– I didn’t know that I was logged in under my real name.
The sentiments still apply though.
