A Peak into Ashley’s Closet:
*******************************************
After a particularly brutal past year on the personal front, I decided that blogging would become my therapeutic outlet. A way to journal, record events, and use my creative juices for more inspiring activities other than brooding & simmering in my own emotional stew. Only hens should brood-ya' with me??? Although blogging has become a creative outlet and a new addiction for me, it’s also a tight rope game with real-life consequences. How do you write about your experiences while keeping your 67 year old aunt, your friend’s 12 year old son, your church friends, and your midnight tokin’ high school buddies in mind at all times? Trust me: these folks can smell rat a mile off. It’s not easy, friends. Allowing your inner voice to be uncensored takes courage. Disregarding your audience? That takes KAHUNAS!

That’s why I would like to introduce to you my favorite blogger. Her name is Ashley. Ashley & I do not know each other in real life. But I consider her a virtual girlfriend-a real girl's girl. Although I get no kickbacks for this endorsement, I read Ashley’s blog as often as she can hit the post button and hope you will too. She has the authentic voice that in my next life I will find the courage to use. She is refreshingly modern, vulnerable, smart mouthed, loyal, ridiculous, over the top, feminine, wickedly funny, painfully honest, and alarmingly uncensored. She is not for everyone. You might very well be offended. She will not write to please you or impress you. Frankly, she just doesn’t give a damn... and this is why I adore this modern day Scarlett O’ Hara. So take a peak into Ashley’s Closet… you'll find me there!
