I thought about doing an "about me" for my first blog post, but then my ADD kicked in, and my brain went in 500 directions, so I decided to pick ONE thing to discuss (Do you know how hard it is narrow a list 500 down to one?). I wanted it to be witty, or brilliant, or insightful, or exciting. Instead, I chose to discuss WHY I am starting a Blog (Yeah, I know... not the most interesting subject, but sometimes people want to know, and sometimes I'll need the reminder)
Honestly, there are a lot of reasons. I love reading others blogs. Surely someone may like to read mine? Occasionally, I have something insightful to say, and who am I not share this insight with the world? I need a place that I can discuss personal topics that is not a social media platform. My thoughts are so random and run wild, and I am hoping that this will help me organize them. And last but not least, writing is wonderful stress relief!
Reasons I did NOT start this blog.... Because all my friends were doing it (Even though I do have two that have their own blog), because I want to make money at it (Although that would be REALLY nice at some point, but once it becomes a J.O.B. it is no longer stress relief), and definitely not for fame (I mean, how many bloggers actually become famous?).
I just want a semi non judgmental (Everyone judges, don't try and kid yourself...) place that I can share my crazy life. If it's not for you, no hard feelings... but I do ask that everyone be respectful to each other. I have a comment delete button, and I'm not afraid to use it! :) PLEASE feel free to share your thoughts in a non confrontational manor. I absolutely love discussions, even when I disagree... but I absolutely HATE personal attacks on someone else's OPINION. Opinions are not facts, therefore they cannot be "wrong" or "right".
I am Agnostic. If that doesn't sit well with you, then now is definitely the time to leave. I will from time to time have posts about religion, and they will not always be in a positive light.. I do always thank those that pray for me. I do "pray", but it's more of a "sending happy thoughts/vibes out into the universe" type thing. I do ask for prayers... for my family and friends that are spiritual. They are not all Christians. Some are Jewish, Wiccan, and Buddhist. My family and I have suffered a lot of hatefulness and discrimination because of our beliefs (Or lack thereof), and I refuse to suffer it here as well. Nor will I let anyone that follows me suffer for their beliefs. I respect all religions or non religions, as long as they do not harm themselves or others.
Be prepared for ranting... I rant a lot... I would blame it on menopause, but really, I have always ranted. Just mess with my kids, you'll see!! LOL.
How often will I post? That is a very good question! I have 4 children, two of those have health issues, and I am starting college in a few weeks. 4 classes... two of them Science classes. o_0 I haven't been to college in 13 years. What have I gotten myself into??!
What will I write about? Anything and everything. I wasn't kidding when I said I am ADD. My interests vary WIDELY, so I could never stick with one subject, and I'm not making 30 different blogs for 30 different subjects... that would definitely be too much to handle.
So there you have it... the why, the why not, the when, and the what. I have a feeling that along this journey, I am going to wonder if I am bi-polar! Only time will tell....

P.S. Notice I said that I was choosing ONE thing to talk about, and it ended up as 4?? Expect a lot of that. LOL.
