Lo in a nutshell...

Lo
The thing about being "shiny" is that at any moment you can have a hundred ideas float through your mind but not be able to hold onto a single one. In fact, since I have decided to really try to make a go of this blogging thing, I have been thinking daily about what I should post but keep forgetting to write down these brilliant ideas. So this morning, tea in hand, I sat down to write a post and then my mind went completely blank. This caused me to look over to the only person in the room, Lo, and ask "What should I blog about?" and she jokingly replied "Your amazingly fascinating daughter." Then she proceeded to give me some real examples of things I could write, but the original suggestion stuck (much to her dismay).

Do you love me enough to let me go? (Part 1)

I am always amazed at how music can trigger such amazingly "shiny" thoughts. Recently as I was driving home from dropping some kids off at Forest Home, the song "Enough To Let Me Go" by Switchfoot came on the radio. For me it is one of those thought provoking songs and it is the first verse and chorus that always hits me the hardest. In the song,  Jon Foreman writes & sings:

"Oh, I'm a wandering soul
I'm still walking the line that leads me home
Alone
All I know
I still got mountains to climb
On my own
On my own

Do you love me enough to let me go?
Do you love me enough to let me go?
To let me follow through, let me fall for you, my love
Do you love me enough to let me go?"
