Reasons I Blog


I have often contemplated the reasons I should start a blog. There were good reasons:
Meet interesting people  with whom I can learn  & share.
Contemplate  the how, why & where of my life .
Receive feedback on  interesting topics & ideas.
Find ways to earn  money from hobbies & such.

However, life being life  there was always  an opposing reason not to tackle
 a project that I feel should be a long term commitment .
Fear of rejection
Family commitments
Fear of messing up
Questioning the timing
Fear of stepping out
Part-time job obligations
Negative self talk fed those irrational fears  and planted  seeds of doubt of messing up, quitting or not having enough time for priorities. Thankfully I  realized that those people, things and events would actually be the heart and soul of what would give my blog life. This will be a change that involves challenging my fears and embracing life .

Sometimes its hard to let go and do things differently
But for emotionally maturity and growth
There comes a time when you have to quit searching
Realizing the seasons of our life change
That excuses run out and fears must be met

There comes a time we  move forward into the next chapter.

For me that time is now to...

Meet interesting people  with whom I can learn  & share.
Contemplate  the how, why & where of my life .
Receive feedback on  interesting topics & ideas.
Share my passions, my family, my experiences.
Find ways to earn  money from hobbies & such.
Discover my life' as I speed past fifty
