I’m in!

Okay, so this morning, I actually logged in to this account to do my blog.  So, I’m settling into my new home at WordPress.

So, I wonder…..who started this whole “BLOG” thing??

I remember a few years ago, my friend told me something about her “blog”.  I had no idea what it was, so I didn’t ask, because I was embarrassed that I didn’t know!  Then I finally asked her and she told me it was her computer  diary log thingy.  It was over my head, so I let it go.

The a year or so later, I started hearing more about it but had no use for it.

Then one day I went in for a massage and this weird lady started reading my body.  You hear about this stuff, but on this day, as the lady talked to me about a recent accident I had (I fell down my stairs and landed on my Tucassss), I was freaked out.  But when she told me I need to do what I LOVED….. I thought for sure she was eluding to my photography.  (Keep in mind, SHE is doing all the talking, I haven’t given her ANY information as I was there for a MASSAGE).

When she said I need to WRITE….I almost fell off the table……

I never told anyone how much I love writing, and truth is, I never wrote anything more than a page at a time.  My thought was if I was going to write, it would have to be in epic proportions and  I would have to finish a book.

But after that session with her, I decided to start a blog…..  I dove in head first.  And I have been doing it ever since.

Sometimes we have visions of grand happenings in our lives.  But as I reflect on my blog; what I have found is I needed to adjust my own expectations and make my writing in my style in a way that made me feel content.

I have nothing to hide; most of you know this about me.  And I think that is the intrigue because so many people hide parts of their lives thinking they are the only ones suffering and no one on the face of the earth could possibly know the pain of what they are going through.

My blogs goal is to give you a hint that you are not alone.

Is it in Epic Proportions???  Not even close.  But I can honestly say that the feedback I have gotten over the last 18 months (sometimes privately) is as Epic to me as I could want.

I have been met in grocery stores by people who guiltily need to tell me they read my blog.  More often than not, I’m shocked, because they never respond.   But they don’t have to.  That isn’t the purpose.

The purpose of my blog is simply the “Me too!!”

We all have Me Too’s out there.  But most don’t speak of it.  But if they read it in my blog and they have a small epiphany, then my job is done.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  We are NEVER alone!

Sending you virtual hugs from this thing called a blog that just a few short years ago was foreign to me – and is now a huge part of my life!

Thanks for reading!
Happy Tuesday!
