The Journey Begins

That feeling I got when I clicked confirm to start this site. Warm, goosbumpy in a good way and a smile that I just couldn’t hold back. This is right. Writing is right. For me.

Why has it taken me so long? I have been considering starting a blog for over ten years. That is a long time. My excuse was always lack of time. I call BS. Now, with two kids and a house to maintain and all the responsibilities that go with them, when I look back at my twenty-something and ever early thirty something self I am astounded that I could ever say I had a no time. I had all the time in the world.

No. More likely what was keeping the me from writing was fear. Fear of not being good enough or not having the “right” things to say. Life is short, I have things to say and now, at 40 really don’t care about approval from others on my thoughts and words. I have things to say and I am going to share them. So I hope you join me on this journey, and if you have something to add to the story please share with me too.

“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of society, is either a beast or a god. ”
