Hello! here it is...a real website!!

I've typed, deleted and retyped so many things trying to make this first post something worthy of what this is...or, what I'm hoping it will be anyway.  I've been writing for almost as long as I can remember, well, since I was in fourth grade - the same age M is now - and if I'm honest, I will say that I've often been timid with my writing, downplaying its importance in my life, not quite giving it the credit it deserves I suppose.  Why?  Out of fear, honestly.  Words, especially written, are an insight into the very depth of our soul; the deepest reflection of who we are.  Once put to paper, they give life to beliefs, emotions, thoughts, fears, hopes, dreams...at least for some of us.  For me, this new site is a commitment to myself, an investment in a lifelong dream, a push to do something more.  

Hang on, there is so much more coming!  I am so excited!
