I wrote this last week, in my pen and paper journal, because I was feeling a little anxious about something I was about to do. It wasn’t making any sense to me, and yet I felt I should follow “the signs” and do it anyway. I’ve decided to share it here with you, unedited.

I knew a girl (we’ll call her Sally) who was four years old. She loved to ask, “Why?” for every little thing. One day, I started to make a salad. I took out all the ingredients and put them on the counter. When she asked what I was making, I told her… “Salad.”

Sally: “Why are you making a salad?”

Some of you already know that many of my posts come from my old journal entries, written back before I thought anyone would ever read them. My stories tend to be deeply personal. Because of this, I don’t usually guest post. It makes me feel like I am writing in someone else’s diary. To date, I’ve written 200 posts, and only one of those was a guest post (Love and Compassion Can Defeat Suffering and Depression).

Well, Jay (who, by the way, knows this) made me an offer I couldn’t refuse… he invited me to be the first blogger to guest post at Porsidan. It’s a bit of a ribbon-cutting ceremony, the celebratory smashing of a virtual champagne bottle, launching him into the vast, unchartered waters of hosting guests at his blog… an honor I would be remiss to pass up.
