I have played with the idea of starting a blog for a few years now.

I mean, this is obviously the trend of the moment (though it seems to be lasting more than a moment and I’m really not that trendy). I have fancied myself some kind of writer from an early age; though, now approaching 40, I can’t say with any assurance that I have proven that potential. I enjoy journaling. I have tons of notebooks sitting upstairs with scribbles in remembrance of days long past, skipped dates from those times when I just didn’t keep the daily diary going, and lines written for the pursuit of personal progress (you know the ones I mean – “time to get it together and start fresh”).

“I should start a blog,” I’ve continued to think. It could be a form of personal therapy. Putting some thoughts out there for all the world to see could be rather freeing. Then again, what would I write about and who would read it anyway? I’m not a beauty influencer, a politician, or public figure. I’m going through some things and could talk about my “journey”, but who, besides my mom, is really going to read about all of that?

I don’t know.

I’m going to start a blog. I’m not a celebrity it’s true, but I’d like to be motivated and motivate others, to inspire and be inspired. Maybe putting some thoughts into the “blogosphere” will help to make that happen.

Hopefully you all will join me as I figure this out. Please add your thoughts to the discussions and give me your feedback.

Here we go!
