I was challenged earlier this year to start a blog. I have been toying with the idea wondering if what I had to say was what I wanted to send out to the world.

I have come to realise that I have always written. My earliest memories are of drawing squiggles on a page – even before I really knew how to write! It’s been mostly for myself…just thoughts on a page.

Recently, I have come to realise that my thoughts have merit…my mental meanderings may be of more value than I have ever given them credit.

I guess its like finally realising that others think the same way I do, and its through the written words that connections are made, divides are conquered and bridges are crossed.

Ideas collaborate through the simple process of being shared.

A word in season.

I have always admired the words of others, and words have always been my paint box, my easel and my canvass. But the thought of ever publishing anything, has always been a slightly daunting thought.

I have come to the conclusion that I am really the only one who has the final say on the worth of my words… Others may weigh their potential, but only I have the final say on what they were created for…to tell a story, share an idea or simply give order to the jumble in my head.

So here begins a brand new adventure for me…the start of a blog. I hope you will come along for the journey.
