Why Muchness?

When I decided to write a blog I knew I wanted the word "muchness" involved.  Several years ago I was watching the Johnny Depp version of Alice in Wonderland. His character was the mad hatter.  He had asked Alice to help him fight the Jabberwocky and she had refused.  The phrase he used with Alice about her being refusing was "you were much more muchy last time she was there", it really struck me.  You see at that point in my life I WAS Alice and my life had gone down the proverbial rabbit hole.  Hearing that line was the palm to the forehead, the catalyst I needed to shake myself out of my lethargy.
Funny that. A line, a word can have such an impact on our lives.
So.. This is a travel log, if you will, of my journey OUT of wonderland back into my life where I am learning to be present. This is dedicated to us all.  We all have stories  and journeys we are on, have taken or will take (when we are ready).

Forest Park in Portland Fall of 2014

The literal beginning of my journey.
