The Beginning

My dream of being a writer isn't new. I've even had a blog once but didn't stick with it. I'm setting out on this new blogging adventure with a purpose...to do something! 

I'm one of those people who gets a lot of crazy ideas in my mind. One day I'll want to master a new recipe and I'll think about how exciting it would be to get so good at it that it can become my full time job. The next day I'll venture into a new exercise routine and dream about being a disciplined runner, perhaps evening going for the marathon! A few days later I'll pick up a crocheting needle and think about all the wonderful blankets and gifts I could make for my family if I ever master the skill. So far this has been my story. A Jill of all trades, master of none.

There is one thing that's been consistent. Whether it's a personal journal, a memo at work or a newsletter for my church, I love to write. The challenging thing about writing is you kind of need to be an expert about something to do it all the time. Or else why would people come back and listen to what you have to say?

I'm no expert but there is something that matters enough to me to keep writing about it. Life. The kind of life that finds adventure hidden in the daily grind. The kind of life that refuses to watch days, weeks and months slip by unnoticed. The kind of life that God wants me to live.

I hope you join me on this adventure and hold me accountable to living with an attitude of joy that will not be silenced!
