When I look back to my teenage years, that is where I discovered the desire and love to write. Words and the use of them have always intrigued me. As I entered high school I found myself in the yearbook class due to needing another subject to fill my schedule. It was an accident that helped move me toward learning how to construct sentences and creating an interesting read for my audience. I was fortunate to have a wonderful instructor overseeing that class who also became a mentor so-to-speak. From him I gleaned a love for the printed word, creative thinking, as well as debating a topic.

High school days are a distant memory now, a season that ended long ago yet paving the way to fill a heart’s desire thus creating a ‘new beginning’. Life has given me much to cherish yet I must acknowledge the hardships and disappointments that also came along. It’s from these experiences that I hope to tap into and create meaningful essays, articles, or in this case–a blog–to engage you, the reader. It is my heart’s desire to paint you a word picture along this path of new beginnings that will cause you to reflect, to smile or chuckle, to ponder, to self-examine, and above all to be encouraged.

I invite you to join me in discovering the treasures of my heart and mind as together we walk this path. The subject matter will vary which I hope keeps you returning. May we form the bond that is somehow magical between writer and reader.

I hope to share thoughts with you each week. As I enter this ‘new beginning’ please be aware that changes are coming; I will share those with you as they develop and as I am released to do so.

I am excited. I am nervous. Above all, I am pursing the dream that was birthed years ago. Welcome to my dream!
