Here's to a Fresh Start

This has been a crazy year with many highs and lows. I've decided I want to focus on the highs for October. The month has started off exceptionally well. After months of misery at my job, I quit just over a week ago. Initially that added tremendously to my stress, because, while I was no longer in a job I hated, I was unemployed! But today (or now technically yesterday) I received a new job offer. My stress level took a nosedive.

So what does this have to do with my starting a blog? Since I was a little girl, I have always wanted to be a writer. Books opened up a world of possibilities to me as a child and even now. I have always wanted to join in that creative process. However, fear has halted my progress. If I were to write, who would even want to read it? Do I even how what it takes to be a writer? If I never try, then I will never know. In hopes of ending this crazy year at least somewhat on track of my life goals, I am undertaking this blog.

I am so excited by all of life's possibilities. I'm ready to start my new job. I graduate with my master's in December. And I'm ready to start writing! So, here we go...
