I am often asked why I started this blog. There are many reasons why I did, but the main one is that I love to write and this became a vehicle for me to do so. I didn't even think anyone would be reading it when I started writing it, and it took me three or so months before I even told anyone about the blog. I am so happy and feel very blessed to have people interested in what I have to say and what happens in my life. I will be taking a new direction with the blog over the next few months, so stay tuned, because it is it is bound to be provocative, informative and interesting.
Today marks the one year anniversary of writing this blog. There has been so many changes in this past year in my life and I am sure there will be many more in the year to come.
