So now I'm a blogger....for real....

Unless you count my brief foray into blogging 6 years ago (amounting to a total of maybe 5 posts), I've mostly sat on the sidelines and read blogs.  Fashion blogs, food blogs, home organization/decor blogs, fitness blogs, and on and on and on.  People ask me where I learned to eat like I do....my answer, "From blogs".  Ladies want to know where I learned about fashion...."From blogs".  That latest gluten-free dessert recipe..."From blogs."  I've always enjoyed reading other people's thoughts, but figured I had nothing worthwhile to share that hadn't already been put out on the blogosphere.

However, over the past year I've put a lot of thought into femininity and specifically, "What makes me unique as a woman?"  Webster defines "femininity" as "the quality or nature of the female sex".  Vague, hmm?  I am a female and my nature is essentially female.  Well, I already knew that.  I'm more interested in what it looks like to be feminine, feels like to be feminine, what our culture says about femininity, and ultimately, does God say anything about my femininity.  I want to get my thoughts and impressions down somewhere (semi) permanent.  Outside of a diary, what's the next best thing? Why, putting my thoughts and opinions on the internet, of course!

In all seriousness, this blog is an attempt to continue to define what feminine means for ME.  All opinions will be my own and are therefore personal...as in, your opinions may very well differ from mine.  And that's fine.  I'm not trying to impose my definition of feminine onto anyone.  But I do feel that after years of reading blogs, magazines, culling through my own closet, hits/misses in fashion, fitness and food.....maybe I have a little something to share with others.

So, feel free to join me as I seek to explore and define femininity in all it's varied forms.
