Beginnings

It has always been a mystery to me. What do you write in your first blog post? It is such a new, clean slate, much like opening a new notebook and trying to come up with something deep and intelligent with which to decorate those first pages.

I have started several blogs in the past, always to fall at the first hurdle. What to write. So this time, I am  going to write... something, and hope that is enough to get me started on this adventure that is writing for an audience, creating in a public space instead of just in my journal.

What are my plans for this blog? Well, to be honest, I'm not sure yet. I've learned that when you try to push something and force it to become something it just isn't ready for, disappointments happen and failures ensue. 

But I have also learned that when you wait for a perfectly formed entity to appear in your mind before acting, you never do anything. So I am here, showing up to write my blog posts, with no expectations or plans, just a desire to write and share.
