Experts say that it’s normal for preschool children to have imaginary friends.  When I was growing up I had several.  What makes me even more magical is that I also created an imaginary school room for my friends and me to play in.

Inside the closet where, as my mother has pointed out, I frequently took naps was a wall that would become a door. On the other side was a room with many small chairs, bright colored toys, a round rug used for circle time, and two encouraging and helpful teachers.

It hadn’t occurred to me until recently that perhaps this imaginary room whose details, right down to the rust colored coat hooks I can still vividly see, is actually a physical representation of my imagination.

As I continue down this path of learning to be more creative, intuitive, insightful and profound I find myself retreating to this room more often, the room of my imagination and once there, I find it easier to write.

I am ever so reluctant referring to myself as a writer but when my oldest son asks me what I do I blurt it out without hesitation. I trust this simple fact reveals a lot about my true feelings.  I don’t believe you need to be published in order to consider yourself a writer.  I am a writer because I write as often as I can with the desire to convey my feelings to readers who often remain anonymous.  I just hope that my words make sense to them the way they make sense to me.

Since 2003 I have been married to my greatest love and in the years of 2006 and 2008 became a Mom to two little super heroes that love me to the moon and back, around China, to the moon again and home.  They light my path.

I need my life as a mother to stretch outside the house in order to feel balanced.  I am neither a stay at home Mom nor one who works 9-5 outside the home.  I am somewhere in between the two.  I have many job titles and because of this, life gets busy and I get overwhelmed…

Kerri’s Klutter was born from the left over mental debris that has no other purpose but to look messy and confuse me.

This place will be the closet you will get to me as a person without meeting me in real life.  For those of you that have the pleasure of knowing me from both my written and spoken word please enjoy your front row seat.

As for the readers who stumble in here or who have settled in beside me, WELCOME

and THANK YOU.

My heart needs me to write honestly and from a place that is real; because of that you will find a variety of topics, making me a blog that exists without a niche.

I enjoy the community that blogging surrounds me in and these last 3 years have opened my eyes to many new things and people.

My name is Kerri, this is Kerri’s Klutter and I will continue to come back here.

I hope you will as well.
