And so it begins...

I have contemplated starting a blog for some time.  What would be the purpose of my blog?  Who would want to read my blog?  What kind of things would I write about?  These are all good questions, but I don't have any good answers.  I know there are days that my mind is swimming with thoughts and topics.  But before I get the chance to write them down, my mind has raced forward ten steps.  There isn't one specific topic that I have to write about either (fashion, family, relationships, spirituality, etc.)  All of these things enter my life on a daily basis.  If I'm trying to share pieces of myself in my blog, I will be writing about everything. 

As to who is going to read my blog, perhaps no one.  I hope to be able to communicate my thoughts in a way that can be easily understood.  I also hope that I'm not alone.  There are times that thoughts cross my mind and I wonder 'does anyone else feel this way?'  'Am I the only one that has these thoughts?'  I know the answer is no.  So perhaps my thoughts, rational or not, can help others not feel alone.  That means if I reveal something embarrassing you can not laugh at me, at least not where I can hear it!  A second purpose, even if no one reads my blog, is to somehow organize my random thoughts.  If I get them out of my head maybe they'll stop randomly coming into consciousness.  Okay, they probably won't :)

Don't misunderstand me, I won't be serious all the time.  There may be days that my writing is completely irrelevant, like something absolutely adorable my cat did that day.  And there may be days that I don't write anything at all.  To be honest, it's going to take overcoming fear of making myself vulnerable for this to be successful.  I will also have to put aside my perfectionist tendencies to proofread and rewrite something over and over and over.... 

And so my blogging adventure has begun.  If you are willing to take this journey with me, I welcome the company.  If not, there are no negative feelings.
