Quite frankly, I have no idea.  I'm an extremely ordinary person, living a fairly ordinary life.  I have no expertise or special knowledge.  I'm not a famously talented person, and I certainly don't have people clamoring to hear my every thought.  In fact, I'd imagine it could very well be the exact opposite.

Even knowing all of that, I couldn't get past my desire to write.  I can't get past my desire to put my thoughts "out there" for anyone who might be interested.  This feeling left me in a quandry.  Usually, when people write books or publish blogs, they have a specific purpose or subject for their blog.  I searched for days, which turned into months, for the topic of my blog.

At the end of my search, I have come back to the fact that I am not an expert in any area of knowledge except, perhaps, myself.  I know myself about as well as anyone else, most likely better.  The only thing I do really well is to be me.  I have come to the conclusion that my blog should be about me.

Selfish, I know.

Arrogant, perhaps.

But consider this fact:

When it comes to being me, I do it all spectacularly well.  The good and the bad.  The pretty and the ugly.  I make grand mistakes as often as I acheive mediocre successes.  I say the wrong thing as often as I say the right thing.  On this journey, called life, I've got a lot to learn.  I've only just begun to reach toward being all that I'm meant to be.  My main goal is to learn from every experience, mistake, success, obstacle, and joy that comes my way.  My aim is to keep doing life better.

I figured there might be other people out there who felt awfully similar to me:  Just ordinary people trying to do life better.  I decided that some of those people might be able to relate to me and my journey.  I thought maybe just one of those people might be interested in joining me for the journey.

So, there you have it:  I'm not special.  I'm not great.  I'm just me.  I'm trying to live a better life, and I thought you might be able to connect with that.  Consider this a formal invitation:  I would love to have you join me on this journey.  Perhaps together we can go farther than we ever thought possible on our own.
