An Intro. To My Blog

I got a little ahead of myself the other day and posted my first entry without an introduction! Sooo, here it is:

This blog is about my life and about life in general. Life here and now (Southern California for the time being) and about life in the past and abroad. It's about what I see and experience and about my current thoughts.

Often times I read other people's writing and am inspired, touched, propelled to think, and at times, discouraged. Discouraged in the sense that my writing isn't as powerful or thought provoking as theirs. I call myself a writer, a journalist, yet I don't write as much as I "should." I've decided to change this thought. I want to write about what I see, what I experience. I also want to intermittently share what I experienced while living and traveling abroad. I am the only one who sees it through my eyes, but if I am able to express it in words, then in a sense, you are able to experience/see it as well. My goal in writing these blogs is to bring you (the reader) along on my journey through life. I'll post pictures when I can and do my best to truly describe what I'm thinking or feeling or seeing. I feel that expressing life in words will push me to think more about life around me. In turn, I hope that it will propel you to do the same.
