Like many people who start blogs, I am beginning this blog simply as a place to capture my thoughts and feelings as I journey through life. I am a writer already, but my professional writing does not always meet my need to capture life, put down thoughts and feelings about daily life, and just have a place to casually record these things. Plus, keeping a blog is just a good way to keep up the practice of writing without it really “mattering” to anyone but me. I don’t plan to promote this blog, at least for now, so what I write really doesn’t have much weight to it. And yeah, that’s freeing!
What are my hopes for this blog? Possibly, if I can dredge up enough discipline initially and then maintain whatever discipline I’ve managed to accumulate, I will write something daily. Even if it’s a few sentences, maybe even a few paragraphs. Maybe what I write will be profound, and maybe it won’t. Perhaps some day this blog will turn into something. Right now, only God knows. But if I’m honest, I’ve been feeling this nudge for quite some time. And as I’ve learned from my professional writing career, I’m not always going to know the why. The why might be a long time coming. My job is only to be obedient to that call.
So to anyone who may unwittingly stumble upon this blog, I apologize! If you gain something from it, you are just joining me along on my own personal journey.
Welcome!
