Before I started writing my blog, I had a look at a few friends’ blogs (now that I’m writing a blog I might actually commit to reading some blogs regularly). I was slightly surprised and rather encouraged to read Phil’s first post. Phil is totally media-savvy, takes beautiful photos and has two very cool blogs. Yet he also resisted starting his own blog for a long time. Reading and writing are two of my passions. Yet the idea of publishing my thoughts online is one that I’m not really comfortable with. Why? Because it seems rather self-absorbed. I write to friends not simply to tell them things, but because I also want to know what’s going on in their lives. Writing is therapeutic. Yet publicly sharing the dirty laundry of my mind doesn’t seem therapeutic.
If Phil could get over the awkwardness and blog, then so can I. And as I begin to throw ingredients into the pot I’d love to hear your thoughts. I plan to add different things to the blog- links to other blogs and sites, book recommendations, maybe even some music. Standard blog fare? Maybe. But then again, maybe the beauty of the blog is that each one is as individual as we are.
