I have been wanting to publish a blog forever. Not as something that needs to be read by others, but to document my story for myself, and if anyone does draw some feelings of inspiration or is craving the sense of community that I have found in the blog world and within my friendships here in New York than all the better.
My New Years Resolution is to be better to myself; in short, treat myself better and focus more on my successes than my failures. Why then, would a blog be a good idea to start? I had feelings of wondering if I am setting myself up for failure. I know that when I click on my favorite blogs, only to find no new posts, I am disappointed. Will I feel the same way about myself if I cannot think of something to blog about on a daily basis? Perhaps that will be what I should focus that days blog about then. The feeling of disappointing myself, and others, which is a feeling that I am familiar with anyway.
I want to start a dialogue on here, to meet new people, to express ideas and thoughts that I have and to meet people who will come to know me as Judith the blogger. My mother always expressed to me the importance of having friends from every instance of your life; those who know you pre-puberty, pre-college, in college, post-college, pre-marriage, post-marriage. If you are lucky like I am to have friends from each of these instances, it seems almost greedy to want and expect more. I just know how much I enjoy reading and learning from the community of amazing women bloggers out there, and feel like it's time to give back; to share as much as I have enjoyed reading, and to become a more active member of the blogging community that I have been a silent member of for so very long.
Happy New Year to all my friends and family, new, old and yet met. I hope so learn as much from you as you learn from me with this blogging experiment.
