Well, it's official. I have started my own personal blog. I've been a blog stalker for several years now off and on. Some bloggers are my personal friends, but if I were to be completely honest, most blogs I follow are people I don't know. Weird? Maybe. Awkward silence.
So why do I follow and read about stranger's inner most thoughts or feelings, view pictures of loved ones, or watch videos of important events? 99.9% of the time I visit blog to gather information. It's been a valuable resource when doing research and educating myself on issues related to what matters most. Should I obsess and wonder what strangers will come read my most inner thoughts and feelings, view pictures (if I dare) or videos (if I double dare) of happenings in my life? For now.
I know most blogs have some sort of theme or purpose. Some bloggers journal their daily happenings describing themselves, their kids, their lives. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of line I should draw in the sand when it comes to filtering out personal information, pictures of my children, and how much to REALLY share what happens day to day. I'm not exactly sure what or if there will be a main focus other than it will be things that matter to me most. which in the end comes down to 3 things. My relationship with God, my relationship with my family, and myself.
Let's start with what you won't find here. A picture perfect life. Sometimes I want to punch those "perfect" (but are they really?) blogger mom's in the face. Hmmm, so much for the filter.
In the future look for content that has to do with our day to day journey. Possible topics may include: disability rights, my religious beliefs, Brain Highways, albinism, the joys and struggles of marriage, childhood memories, and random thoughts or feelings on what is exciting, bothersome, annoying, or intriguing.
More to come about all that matters to me.
Love the title and the concept! Just write what's in your heart. Letting others in is a great gift to us. I for one will be stalking your blog faithfully!

I love blogs. I like to see what people are doing for fun, especially around here. Then I steal their ideas and do awesome things with my kids and they think I am the best. Then I blog about the awesome things I got off other friends blogs and they think I am great too. Really though....excited to read your blog.
