The Beginning Of Something Good.... Maybe Even Great....

While talking to my mother earlier she gave me the idea of starting a blog. Well, indirectly gave me the idea. It started off with her talking about how she wanted to write a book and how she feels she has a lot to write about and she could help a lot of people. Then she proceeds to say, "I always thought you should write a book, you were always such a great writer." And as she continued to talk about the short stories I used to write as a child and the creativity I developed the older I got, the more and more I felt inspired. It has been a long time since my mother has actually given me a compliment and when she does, it comes from a profound place. I am not too sure if writing a book is what I was meant to do so I figured you have to start somewhere, right? So here I am. And this feels right. I know this is my first blog but as I am writing this I am getting a good feeling and I don't have a good feeling too often about anything. My goal is to bring you in to ME, my thoughts, my sentiments, my trials and tribulations and hopefully in the process grow in to the woman that I was meant to be. The older I get, the more I realize it isn't easy, this thing we call life. But what makes it beautiful and worthwhile are the lessons we learn and the growth we experience from it. So in the process I hope to turn from this little caterpillar just inching through life to the gorgeous butterfly that this world can't take their eyes off of.

Til the next time,
