Blogger - Blogging - Blog

Road - RO-ad - Rooooad

Blog. It's a funny word - right?

But here I am. Trying my hand. Putting my thoughts down on the inter-webs.

So many times, I have thoughts that I think would make a really great, but super long Facebook post. 

...You guys do that, right?? Where you're driving and you're thinking and you're like... 

"I should TOTES write that on Facebook - then all of my Facebook friends will think I am SOOOO smart!"

Right??!! 

...Or am I the only one...

Either way, blogging is today's version of a public diary... a place to articulate thoughts. To share concerns. To encourage and to connect. 

And that's where I'm at. Somewhere between Facebook and a real book.

I hope my (sometimes crazy) ramblings don't scare you away. 

I hope they make you lean in closer. 

Because I want to hear your voice too. 

I want to know what makes you sad, 
what brings you joy,
what makes you scared, 
what has helped you get past that hurdle you were struggling with.

I want to know you. 

Because then, and only then, can an online conversation begin to be authentic. 

There's no hiding behind a screen here.

... I mean... 

I do have SOME boundaries people. TMI is TMI no matter what the platform... 

But 

real, 
authentic, 
genuine, 
honest.

These are all important words to me. 

So, yay! 

Let the fun begin!!
