A Wannabe Writers Dream ~ Blogging!

Here I am, a want to be writer in my 'early' senior years with the world of blogging enticing me like a candy shop tempting a small child. Wow, I can hardly believe it! I can write to my hearts content about the subjects I love to write about and not have to think about newspaper or magazine submissions, editors or even my lack of formal training in writing. Thanks to blogging, I can write what is in my heart, click the 'post' button and feel as if I have truly accomplished something.

Yes, I know what you are thinking. Just because I have written something 'from my heart' and hit the 'post' button doesn't mean anyone except me has, or will read it. This is precisely the reason I wish to take a course in blogging. Hopefully I will learn how to create an interesting blog that will draw a few curious folks in to visit. However, even if no one else except me ever reads one of my stories or inspirational pieces, I will continue to find satisfaction in writing them because writing what is in my heart brings healing to my soul. And, God willing, maybe someone else will stumble across something I have written and find a small bit of healing, as well.


A Newblogger's First Blog

Well, I've done a lot of writing and read a lot of blogs. This, however, is my first post on a blog. I am a bit of a technodummy. I've been wanting to create a blog for some time but it always seemed beyond my limited internet abiltities. Enough now. No more procrastination. Thousands of people have blogs so how hard can it be? I shall get a simple blog up and running and share my thoughts with the world in the hope that the world will share its thoughts with me.

In the beginning....

Where do I begin....
Sometimes I feel very ordinary. A working mother of 2 trying to juggle kids, husband, home, job, career, health, spirit, friends to name just of few. I blend in well. There are sooooo many of us all trying so very hard to do our very best. so why doesn't anyone ever perfect it ??? Its hard work staying positive and confident when it's actually physically impossible to juggle aaaall of those things and not drop a bundle or two. You have to stay on your game mentally as that is the only bundle that YOU have complete control over. That is the only place that you can beat the ordinary and without changing too much be extraordinary. And that is where my blog begins....

QUOTE OF THE DAY: What ever you can believe, so you can become.

First Attempt at Blogging

I absolutely love reading other peoples blogs. It's so fun discovering that so many other people see things the same way I do. It makes me feel more normal & more connected to people outside my own world. Their ideas spark my own creativity, give me different perspectives on things and let me see get glimpses into the lives of people I'll never meet.

It's amazing at the talent I've come across. I love the beautiful photographs, the words chosen just right to keep you coming back for more. Through blogs you can live different lives!

That is why I have chosen to learn how to blog. I have so many ideas, but limited knowledge on how to go about expressing my thoughts in a unique and interesting way.

Completely new to blogging

I'd like to introduce myself as someone who is completely new to blogging, but just can't get it out of her head! I am excited about this course and truly hope I don't embarrass myself too badly. Won't know if I don't try!

I'm a newbie to the world of blogging, as many others out there. I have taken the first baby steps by starting to learn as much as possible before starting my own blog. Wish me luck...
