… there was some hesitation simply because how does one start a blog anyway? I have given this 4 months of quiet mumbling and grumbling inside the recesses of my mind trying to find a beginning. Just yesterday as I was untangling the lights taken off of the Christmas tree I was inspired to do to this blog exactly what I did to those lights. Pick a spot and just start unwinding.
And so here we are. I have decided to write this blog conversationally. Meaning I am making an assumption that you – my reader – are comfortably sitting with a cup of your favourite beverage across the many bits and bytes from me. Held a willing hostage as I ramble through the myriad of thoughts and dreams and sometimes conflicting opinions in this wondrously sometimes terrifying space I call my mind. I find this the simplest form of beginning something new. No danger of becoming constipated with the fears of proper grammar and punctuation. No having to swallow a scream of frustration when my thoughts fracture mid sentence and reform into completely new unrelated thoughts. No self flagellation necessary as I am now unable to hold myself up to any preconceived standard by which I will be judged as all I am doing …. is having a conversation. Smile. Settled.
And it begins…. hehehe. I just wrote a WHOLE bunch of stuff and then thought “wait! what am I doing?? This isn’t how I want my first blog to be?” So I shall end right here right now… and let it all percolate.
