I think I feel strange writing this because so much time has passed--I'm slightly embarrassed by that fact. It's been far, far, far too long...
There's a part of me that is a bit terrified to put myself out there and let people into my thoughts and life. And I think that's what's stopped me from writing this first post sooner.
I have had the desire to blog again for awhile, but I simply couldn't part with all my old posts--however badly written they may be, or however sad some of them may sound. But that is past, and that's part of what has brought me to today, so I can't part with them. I'm a different person than I was a couple years ago and I will be a different person in a couple years from now...and I want to be intentional now about sharing life with others...and for me, blogging is a way for me to do that.
I am quite a thinker and a feeler, and I express myself best through writing. The things I say always sound better in my head and I often feel like most of the things that come out of my mouth don't make much sense--even though it makes perfect sense in my head. Hah. :) So for me to really reflect involves writing, and that's part of why I want to start blogging again.
So I've updated the look of my page, changed the name--hopefully more features will come with time, but I will put this on here officially so you can yell at me when I start to slack: My goal is to post once a week to start, and eventually start posting twice a week on a regular basis.
Though, I have one thing to say to my readers...
I love comments. Love, love, LOVE them.
They make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. My primary love language is words of affirmation--so literally they make me feel loved. ;)
I have recently re-read through several of my old posts and one of my favorite parts of doing that was reading the comments that were left! I know a lot of folks comment on Facebook, which is great too but if you remember--try to comment on my blog post. That way they are saved and I can re-read them in two years when I do this again ,and I'll feel all warm, fuzzy and loved all over again. :)
Thanks for all the encouragement I've received to start doing this again--and thanks in advance to you all that will read! I'm looking forward to it!
