my spiritual spin

A few months ago I was talking to a friend.  I was going through a hard time in my life and
she started telling me how it helps her to write her thoughts down.  All I could think about was
that I don't ever think I would want anyone to know the things going through my mind.  Without
really saying that to her I think she must have known what I was thinking because she then began to
tell me how she had a "dark blog".  A blog that only she could read.  She said there are times when she
goes back and reads it and is shocked at things she wrote.  I just kept thinking that is exactly
what I need to do. 

I have not started a "Dark blog" yet.  Still thinking about it though.  Really starting thinking
about it last night.  This morning as the thought of the blog was going through my mind
I popped on my sisters blog "stack of plates" and saw that she had a side blog too.  I popped onto her
"stack of thoughts" and saw that it is exactly what I would expect.  It is a blog of spiritual
thoughts.  Of course it is, it is Rachel.   You see whenever I need advice and I know I
need someone to tell me what I need to hear and not what I want to hear I go to Rachel. 
She always puts a spiritual spin on things and puts me back on the right track. 
I would like to think she has a "dark blog" too, but if she does I don't know about it. 

So, until I decide if I do a dark blog or not, I will know where to go to get my
spiritual spin on things.  She may have started the blog to free up time in her day from
our phone calls.  I can hear her voice mail message now, "this is Rachel I am busy right now, if this
is Heather read my blog and if you still need to talk leave a message...beep".  

I'm so thankful for a sister who isn't afraid to say things I don't always want to hear and
there are many times I really don't want to hear it, but later go back and realize it is exactly
what I needed.

I like the idea of a "dark blog" I also have times when I really need to get out what I am really feeling, but wouldn't want anyone to see or hear it. A dark blog may just work. Also, I think sisters are the best!!! I have a few that always seem to keep me on my toes as well. I hope that whatever is bugging you, gets better.

I started a dark blog once and then realized how little I really needed it and haven't really been back. I think it's a good idea though. You're lucky to have a sister like that, not all of us are.
