i have been needing an e journal.  i used to keep a pen and paper journal in sleek wire bound notebooks bought at barnes & noble or some kizch store.  but i type way faster than i write and most days i would give myself a wicked hand cramp with all the thoughts flowing in my brain.  i don't think i want it public. 

reasons...

1.  i want to share my thoughts freely and not hold back bc i'm scared to hurt someone's feelings. 

2.  i feel a bit voyeuristic reading others blogs mostly because i think journals should only be read post humus(is that spelled right?)

sooo, i handled problem numero uno with a bit of a privacy curtain.  my user name is ficticious.  it's a name i got when i inserted my real name in a "what would your name be if you were a hobbit?" website. 

http://www.chriswetherell.com/hobbit/

i think i will put all my main characters in hobbit nomenclature.  main characters being my husband and 5-soon to be 6 kids.

this will probably be the last post addressing a human audience.  this is just to explain some things.  when i keep a journal-i talk to God hence the blog name.  interior castle is the book written by teresa of avila.  she is an awesome saint of the Catholic Church and someone who really knew God and therefore knew herself.  interior castle refers to the depth of spirituality attained when drawn into your soul- to the dwelling of the Blessed Trinity.  it is there that we find God here on earth.
