Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog.  I will use this blog to write about my reflections my life and my observations of the world around me.  This is the first time I have EVER publicly shared any blog that I've ever kept.  I started a blog years ago, but never revealed it to anybody else.  I consider myself to be kind of a private person who doesn't always feel comfortable sharing everything with everybody.  However, I am a writer and want to begin work on my writing career --- with the encouragement of my husband and many others along the road of life.

 

To be honest with you, for me, sharing something like this blog is kind of scary for me.  I don't like criticism or arguments.  I consider myself to be a pretty peaceful person.  I respect people's rights to having their own opinions, although, I don't always feel respected myself.  I guess sometimes that's the way it is.

 

Lao Tzu once said "Those who know, do not speak. Those who speak, do not know" and I believe that is true. I do have a lot to say, but I seldom say much.  Then, on the other end of the spectrum, there are those who talk, talk, talk and they don't know a damn thing.  They just talk for the sake of hearing themselves speak.  I talk when I have something to say.  Guess since I have something to say, it's time I start talking.

 

So that's why I'm here and why this blog is here.  I want to be a voice for what I believe in and for things that I have been through.

 

This being said, I respectfully ask that anyone who visits my blog, please be respectful of my thoughts and opinions and I will return the favor back to you.  Blessings to all, and again, --- welcome to my blog! J
