The Inspiration

For months I had been considering starting a blog. I don't really care if I have some huge following or not. Heck, I don't care if anyone ever reads it. I mean seriously...how interesting can my life really be to someone whose never met me? Nope. I just like the idea of having someplace I could put my thoughts down regardless and if anyone reads it and gets something out of it, that would just be icing on the cake.

Writing has always been very cathartic for me. It allows me to "think out loud" or be creative when the mood strikes. And while I by no means, consider my creative attempts as anything but mediocre in the grand scheme of things, I always feel lighter when I get the thoughts that are noodling around in my head on paper...or in this case, I guess it will be on the computer screen. What push me to finally to set up this blog was when I was introduced to Brene Brown through the video of her talk at TEDxHouston.

By Mrs Brown's definition, I am a whole-hearted person. While I may not have lived that way in the past, it has always been there. I was stifled by people in my life...the non whole-hearted people. This blog is just me being myself but maybe in a bigger way.
