The beginning

So, I have played with this idea of having a blog for a while now. There are a few out there that I really enjoy reading (which i will somehow figure to post soon) that touch me and I thought that maybe I could do the same. This is also a great and inexpensive way to let friends and family know how life is and what is going on.

I think the main reason though is because of one of the websites that I visit. She challenged us to come up with a word for the year to work on. You can find the info on her site.click here

Well, the word I came up with was share.

I want to be able to share me with others. I'm usually a quite person when I am around people and I don't share my opinions on things so I figured I could do my own blog and share my feelings or whatever. It will be a start to a year long challenge that I'm really going to work at. I was looking up quotes to do with my word and this one I think helps to explain what I am trying to do:

Real fearlessness is the product of tenderness.

It comes from letting the world tickle your heart,

your raw and beautiful heart.

You are willing to open up,

without resistance or shyness,

and face the world.

You are willing to share your heart with others.

I hope you all enjoy that which I have to share.
