Diving In - Blog #1

Writing and blogging is something I feel like I want to do.  It feels somehow important for my journey.  I do not know why.   It is something that I have been thinking about, talking about, and planning for a while.   I have laid the groundwork, researched some of the processes and tips for starting a successful blog, and even started the business and paid for the website and hosting.   

This first blog was a long time in coming.  It has been at least a decade, if not more, since the inspiration started.  My girls were young when I started planning and scheming, and now my oldest is off to college.   

As a high school English teacher, I understand my students’ challenges with writing and with learning.   The vulnerability is real, as you put yourself “out there,” expressing elements of who you are as you speak and write words for others to see, and read.   

I am going to write about my smaller and larger daily adventures, about inspirations from the people and experiences I have, and about my thoughts, fears, and ideas as they come.  I welcome others on my journey!   

Change is constant.

Happiness is fleeting.

Inspiration, mystery, love, and joy are all around us!
