So I can't believe I actually have enough guts to do this. I've been mulling it over for awhile, even thought it might be better as a website. But too many signs have pointed me in this direction. Writing helps me flush out all the trapped "noise" inside my head. I've always kept a journal. In fact, I have a huge storage bin full of spiral notebooks, leather bound diaries and lovely recycled paper journals. I fill one up and start another. I have yet to go back and read any of the ones I have placed in that bin.Because they are packed safely in my garage, the biggest threat to all of my uncensored thoughts before this blog was a moldy smell and mildewed pages. However, this blog is different. This is more dangerous, more threatening to my ego. Allowing other, complete strangers (Oh God....and maybe even friends...) to read this will be humbling and perhaps will hold me more accountable for my actions. A piece of paper doesn't check in with you to see if you followed through on the promise you made to yourself in your last entry.
I plan to write about the every day things I do to try to make myself a better person. It sounds cheesy and "pollyanna-ish" but I am serious. I will be forty in April and I am tired of making excuses. I want to be the best person I can be every day. That means treating myself and others with respect and also trying to treat our earth with love and respect, as well. Okay friends and family, wish me luck!
