Sharing

This is how I will shine.


My story is sacrificed when I don’t write the mess and the giggles and the magic on the screen.

These words, written in a post last week, have stuck with me. They’ve compelled me to re-imagine what it means to blog here. What do I mean by Ruth Ayres Writes?

52 Saturdays.

I’m capturing the shininess of each Saturday in 2013. I’m not exactly sure how I’ll capture 52 Saturdays or what I’ll hold in my hands at the end of it all. I am sure, though, that I’ll be glad I collected something.
