It happened.

I can’t believe it has happened. I have succumbed to the blogger’s world. Actually I’m surprised I held out this long. For as long as I can remember, writing has been one of the few ways I am able to express my true thoughts and feelings. Whether with the old fashioned pen and paper of my leather bound journal or with the sleek back-lit keys of my MacBook- I become vulnerable. In the last year I have begun to follow a few blogs myself and it has been a surprisingly huge blessing in disguise. I used to make fun of bloggers to be quite honest. Sharing life with the entire cyber universe seemed pretty ridiculous at the time. However, quite often do I have the privilege of sitting down at my desk and read about the lives of those who chose to put themselves out there. I have found myself in tears as I relate to so many of their stories, fears, failures, realizations, excitement, laughter, and the list goes on. It has truly been encouraging to say the least. I suppose that is why I decided to begin my own blog. Because I realized that perhaps by sharing my life experiences, failures and hopefully triumphs- I will in turn, up-lift someone else. So hello world- be good to me!
