And so it begins….

Being an author is like being in charge of your
own personal insane asylum. ~Graycie Harmon

I have thought about starting a blog for the past several months but several fears held me back. First, I didn’t want to be a copycat of those friends of mine who I had long admired for taking the time to put their thoughts out there for us to read. But then I realized what better way to compliment them but to start my own blog.

Then I worried that once I started one, would I have time to continue to post and material to post. But then I realized that not only do I have lots of life experiences to draw from but I am at a point in my life where I think I have the drive to post often enough.

I fretted about whether people reading my blog would be interested at all in what I write. But then I realized that people seem to be interested in what I have to say so why not what I have to write.

But, most importantly, it dawned on me that this blog is for me. It is a place for me to pontificate, share dreams, reveal past experiences, and just be. And, if others are enriched or even slightly entertained, so much the better.

And, so it begins…….
