A Blog is Born

Welcome to my new blog!

So, for over a year now (and probably even longer) I’ve been wanting to start a blog. I know, I know. It seems like everyone is doing it. Many are. But I wasn’t and I wanted to. Not to make myself famous (who wants that?!), or share pictures or stories about my kids (I don’t have any), or talk about the newest meal plans I’ve been working on (I’m single—a meal for me is a bowl of cereal or a frozen pizza), or even to talk about my great travel adventures (if only I had a blog when I lived in Bangkok in ‘03—now THAT would have been something to write about!). I love reading blogs about all of those things, and who knows, I’ll most likely include similar discussions about similar things in my new blog, but in the beginning, this is all about me. Me wanting to “write-out” some of the random things that I experience; to contribute to the electronic medium and not just benefit from it; to slow down the passing of time by recognizing some of the little things that make up this big adventure we call life.

And, hopefully in the process, to find my voice; to learn more about myself than I knew before; and to maybe even stretch myself in awesome and scary ways.

Stay tuned world—are you ready? I know I am.

Welcome to the blogosphere! I have found that a blog is a great little exercise in writing, just for the practice and keeping your pen to paper on a regular basis. Or, I guess in this case, it's fingers to the keyboard. Ha! What an exciting adventure! I was really nervous when I first started my blog, but it's been a lot of fun. I hope you have fun with it too.
