Why am I writing another blog? Really? It’s really not enough for me to just stick with what I have? After all, I’ve started more blogs than I remember (I first started blogging in 2001, 2002…). Then – between writing for work, writing for pleasure; writing for the future, writing to grow; writing on the computer, writing in my journal, writing in my notebook, writing on scraps of paper; writing in the a.m., writing at lunch, writing in the p.m. – c’mon. Even after creating a website, I still resisted.

But here it is – a blog. This one, though, will be different than any other I’ve maintained before. It will:
- - primarily consist of brief entries – longer than 140-character-restrained tweets but shorter than my usual ramblings
- - contain essays that I decided not to publish on any of the sites I write for (if that is the case, I’ll note why I decided to post it here instead)
If you want to know a little more about me, please check out my website. Here are some things that I am not:
- I’m not a therapist.
- I’m not a pastor.
- I’m not a sage.
I am a living, breathing, fallible human being. I write about many things with which I have experience because during this journey on this thing called life, I’ve learned a thing or two and I like to share it. The more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know. I have strong opinions and have a tendency to think I’m right. However, when I am wrong, I like to be made aware of it (rather to be wrong than to remain ignorant). I’m not much of an advice-giver (see the above bullets of what I’m not), but rather hope that through sharing my own thoughts and experiences, it can help other people in their own journeys. All opinions expressed here are solely my own.
So let’s see how this blog ends up evolving. Please feel free to share your thoughts about the posts and let me know if there’s anything in particular you’d like me to cover or if you have a book you’d like me to review.
