Re: a prefix meaning "again" (redo), "again and again" (repeat), or "back" (retrace).
I began a blog in 2009. As a librarian and mother of two teenagers, it focused on book reviews, book events, and the follies and foibles of parenting semi-adults. It has set, basically unused for the past two years, and I miss the creative and therapeutic outlets, not to mention the friends I made. In keeping with my Jubilee, I am reinventing the blog rather than resuscitating it.
Creativity has become an overriding theme in my life. We are created in the image of our Creator, therefore the desire and ability to create exists in us all, it just expresses itself in different ways and on different levels. I have always been a "crafter" but never considered myself an "artist". Since taking up watercolor and acrylic painting, junk journaling, multi-media art, and even crochet in the past few years, I have rethought my definition of an artist. I create unique items that are pleasing to me - and sometimes to others. The joy is in the process and, in the wise words of Ricky Nelson, "You can't please everyone so you've got to please yourself."
There's a lot more to be created here - in me and on the blog. I hope you'll come by and walk this jubilee journey with me as I review some mistakes, reshape my vision of success, reexamine my faith and, most of all, REJOICE in gifts given and received.
