Like so many other who saw the movie Julie and Julia, I am intrigued by the idea of trying to learn something new and to share the joys and perils of that process with an audience.

Unlike Julie, however, I have no interest in French cooking.

Instead, I share the plight of many women. After many years of raising children, caring for a house and husband and pursuing a career, I seem to have lost my ability to care for myself.

I am finally at a place in life when I can take a little time out for myself—but I’m not sure how to do that, if I ever even knew how.

So, this blog will be a chronicle of my attempts to nurture and nourish myself. I am making my journey public so that the many others who are like me, unpracticed in genuinely caring for oneself, can join with me in dialogue and adventure.

Perhaps together we can nourish ourselves in the ways we often seek to nourish others.

What do you think?
