Why I Blog......

Some of you have asked why I decided to start a blog and perhaps others are wondering as well, so here goes -

First of all I blog for self reflection. If you have known me for any significant amount of time you are aware of my addiction to self-improvement/help books, if not, you know now.  I am constantly in search of ways to better myself , either spiritually, emotionally, physically or relationally. I am a firm believer that there is always room for improvement, although some areas I improve on better than others.

Second, I blog for the conversations that you and I would have, over a cup of coffee, if only we could  find the time between everything else we have to juggle.  Fortunately there are a few of you that I am lucky enough to have some face time with too, those are some of my favorite times. Nothing beats doing life together in person.

Finally I blog to keep myself afloat. Like you, I struggle, so when I blog I am not just reaching out and sharing with you, I am also reaching in and sharing with myself.  I write more for me, than you. When I need encouragement, or  perspective, or to process my feelings,  and yes even when I just need to be quiet. We all do it, its called self-talk, I just do some of it 'out-loud' through my blog.

Well now that you know why,  my hope is that while I blog, to work through things in my own life, that  you will be encouraged knowing that I am crazier than you, that even the best of smiles can be faked, and that we are all a work in progress even if some  keep hitting the snooze button!

Have a nice day!
