Here I am, again! Once upon a time, a few semesters ago, I began a blog for English 110 and vowed to blog even after the course was over. Well, as you can see it's been just under a year since my last post. Notice I said post and not visit. I have been a visitor to my own site and logged in a few times to view the 'Stats' of those reading my posts (Flirting with Chemistry is still the top choice). I've been surprised and almost encouraged to start writing again but as usual I come up with that lovely excuse of not having enough time to do so. Hogwash! I have time...if only I would quit browsing what others write on Facebook. Some call this stalking (I used to be one of those addicts). Now, thanks to my Sophomore Seminar, Emerging Technologies, I refer to my saviness as RSS Feeds that keep me connected to family back home. Sounds more sophisticated if you ask me. Deep down, I know it's my fear of failure and what people will think when I misspell a word or the punctuation makes it hard to read or someone may get offended or worse yet someone will judge my heart wrongly and once again I fall into the trap of caring too much about other's acceptance rather than my own reflection of what God made, a daughter He will never forsake. (Dang that was a long sentence!) I guess, either way you look at it I'm back and ready to try again. Just like always, I have to be pushed. So, here is a 'Thank You' to my SSM instructor for making her students blog (and God for using her to push me back into writing). Now, maybe I'll make that mark I talk about and dream about or I'll just go about with hope and courage to keep writing with all my heart, regardless of judgment.
One question remains. The question I always ask once I've written a blog and ready to post. Do I have the boldness to link it to Facebook? Well, if you're reading this then my 'Stats' will likely say your journey originated from FB but your identity is anonymous unless of course you are brave enough to 'follow me' (which is off to the right). Honestly, I would be honored and encouraged if you did :) Either way, happy reading!
