Well, here I am. Officially in the blogging world. For a long time I was against this. I thought it would take up too much of my time. I already wrote in a journal. Plus, I had some reservations about putting things out there...on the internet...the world wide web.
I think the seed was planted because I had joined pinterest and pins would lead back to a tutorial on a blog and there were a few that I really ended up liking and kept going back to.
Then my husband, Mark, and I finally upgraded to having smart phones because we realized we could get them and pay less with Virgin Mobile than with the carrier we had without smart phones...so welcome to the family Androids! Then soon after getting our phones, Instagram became available for Androids, so I signed up.
I've been loving Instagram so far. I almost felt like I had this mini blog; a place where I could be creative or express myself, but in a small way.
So a blog kept going through my mind. I had been encouraged a couple times before to start a blog by one of my old high school friends, Eliza. She's had her blog forever...or since the early 2000's.
I also emailed my best friend, Whitney, to see what she thought. She knows me better than most people and always knows the right thing to tell me. She thought it was a great idea for me to start one. She said it could be a healthy outlet for me; something I would take ownership of. It could be a great way for me to express myself, be creative, put up things that inspire me, and just document any significant things that happen.
Lately I have been looking for something to do that is worthwhile and rewarding. I have no idea if this will or won't work for me in that way. I don't know if this will be helpful or inspiring to anyone else, kind of like the blogs I started following were to me. We'll see how this, so called, blog thing works out.
