I began my blog confessing my struggle with procrastination. Did reading my words shine a light on an area in your life in which you are putting off something that you want to do? If the answer is yes, I encourage you to write about it and share it here with other readers.

Sometimes simply acknowledging what is right in front of you is the key that will unlock a door to what comes next. Written expression can be a very powerful way to do so in the form of journaling and by sharing in a forum such as this.

Set aside a time that you will not be distracted. Put pen to paper or fingers on keyboard and write, just write. What you have to say may surprise you, soothe you, encourage you, annoy you, bore you, inspire you (and possibly others), make you curious or produce a multitude of other reactions.

I will read each and every response and publish any that are appropriate for this blog’s readers. Each Saturday that I am able to do so, I will present another personal reflection. Please use these writings as stimulus for your own reflection, growth, wellness and happiness.

-Peace and happy writing

Welcome to my first blog entry. It will be brief.

I realized I had to start somewhere, but I kept putting it off and out of mind. Now I am jumping in, not unlike that dreaded leap into a cold swimming pool. Now that I am in, if feels pretty good. I am glad that I broke the surface.

Although my website is nearly 2 years old, my blog link has been a link to nowhere. What has gotten in the way? The usual suspects that may seem very familiar to you including, discomfort with technology, perfectionism, too much to do, distractions and probably most importantly–no plan.

So here is the plan: Start somewhere, anywhere and see where it leads. Save the draft and read it in the morning.  Then, post it.

Check back again soon.  Being accountable to others is also a part of my plan.
