OK.  Truth moment here.

I keep secrets from you.  All of you.

There ARE things I don’t tell you. Lot’s of things.

Somedays, lots and lots and lots of things.

Now, that might seem really strange to you since I do share alot of things with you here all the time.

But it’s the truth.

Sometimes it’s because I “can’t” tell you something. For legality reasons. . . or because it just isn’t right (or ethical) to share it.

Sometimes it’s because I don’t “want” to tell you.  Some things are mine and only mine to share, when and if I am ready.

And today, I am ready to share something with you. Like right out there in the open, soul baring, truth telling time.

For some of you this may not be a big surprise as I have “alluded” to it in past posts.  I have danced around it and only just in the last few weeks become comfortable actually saying it out loud.

I also typed it, out in public, once last week.

Big deal for me. Really big.

And I am not sure why really.  Maybe it’s because this blog is a safe place for me and a place I play it safe (do you know what I mean?)   This isn’t a place for controversy, or drama. It isn’t really even a place to “pee yourself with laughter” either.  It is just a warm, quiet, happy, neutral place.

For me as well, I wanted to be “just me” here. I rarely share my “other” stuff with you.  This is one part of me, and the other parts stay where they belong.

Everyone in their tidy little box.

Oh, and what if you don’t like what I will tell you?  Will you like me less when I share my news? Or will we be ok? You know “this” side of me… and while that “other” side isn’t ALL me, it is a part of me too.

Maybe I should just delete all this and leave it for another day.

But really. . . what does it all matter in the end? This isn’t life altering news, nor will it change the world. But you know when you purposely DON’T tell someone something, and then it’s time to tell them? It seems like a bigger deal then, than it really should have been at the beginning.

Arghh.

Ok.

Throwing caution to the wind here…

exhaling.

This. Is. Ridiculous.

I have another site. (why does it feel like I am telling you I cheated on you?)

I am the owner and publisher of it.  It is an amazing site. It has an amazing and wondrous and creative group of women contributing to it (and it’s success)

It sometimes uses bad words. . . but it means well.

And as the publisher of BLUNTmoms, my main goal is to use the site as a place for other mom bloggers to come, hide out for awhile, build a tribe and move through whatever they need to move through right now.

And the even better news. Because I am now saying I am the publisher of BLUNTmoms. . . I can also do stuff like this.

I can be upfront about my role with BLUNTmoms. . . finally and share stuff like this! 

And what does that mean to you?

Nothing really. Except it makes me feel good to finally take ownership of this amazing site and these amazing bloggers.  It makes me excited to be working on a relaunch of the site, and a bundle of other things that will make it super duper awesome.

It makes me own the piece of myself that I haven’t be upfront and honest about.

Yes. I am a BLUNTmom. .  . and it is a fabulous thing.

so spill it ladies. . . what are YOU hiding?
