This is the start...

...of something new.  Can we really?  Make a new beginning, cause something to be that isn't, find that which we are looking for...dare i say it...change.  Eek...i don't like this word anymore.  Culture has made us cynical but it doesn't take away the truth that something new requires something different.  Change has become ideological, theoretical, and based on hope.  When we realize that change is about the ordinary, mundane little stuff and not something that we have to wait for, we no longer feel powerless thinking our desires are for someone else.
    So today I start a blog to make a change.  I feel insecure, or maybe vulnerable is a better word, putting myself out there in a blog.  But the journey is the only true form of life.  Or you might have heard it said its the pursuit of happiness not happiness itself.  Destination thinkers, which includes me, find ourselves bound by the route details.  Yet, I'm not bound anymore. Embracing discomfort is never easy but by digging deeper we find reusable tools to better handle new experiences.  Figuring out what I need to change and what I need to hold onto will never prepare me, but it will equip me for life.
