She's Back!!!!

Well, it has been almost two years since I last wrote here on my blog and since then my blog has been overtaken by my sister's and my brother's. That's right, they both had children in 2006 and started blogging so that we could all keep up with one another. I however completely neglected my own blog. Quel horreur!
It is the same time of year that I wrote before, February and spring shoe season and yes I have already gotten a head start. Today I purchased a pair of lovely Hermes orange skimmers by Louboutin. Actually it has been a while since I let myself delve into fashion. Since winter began last year I have been decked out in khaki's and fleece and clogs. I decided to give the whole "fashion" thing a rest and make sure my soul was intact, a sort of purification ritual of sorts I guess. I can't say that it made me feel any better. When you are cold and feeling the winter blues, dressing in black pants and black fleece with thick socks and ugly shoes can make you feel even worse.
I haven't let go of the wonderful Dansko clogs that my father gave me for Christmas and my jeans are still my most favorite items of clothing, but I am going to try to dress a bit more for success and opportunity than for just the weather. It is possible to do both I know. I am looking for a new job right now and am working on some writing samples to submit to magazines in hopes of finding somewhere new to hang my hat. I have given in to fear and have stifiled my own creativity for the past year. I understand now that I have only damaged myself. I need my writing to keep my heart and soul alive, otherwise I am just a shell of a being. So, as a late New Year's resolution I am resolving to pay attention to my own blog and write away. The only person stopping me is myself! Next time I'll give you the low down on my latest obsession: Pilates!!!! (And yes, I will reveal how I keep myself looking good while exercising even though Pilates require no shoes!)
