One of the reasons I keep my blogs is because I love writing. Not story-telling writing, or fictional writing, but rather about my life and the humor and lessons I learn from it. Writing is a good release for me--A release from my stress, my calling, my family obligations, my duties around the home, etc. A way to organize my thoughts without thinking about all of my to-do's for the rest of the day.
The other reason I blog is because I want my kids to be able to read about my thoughts and how I went through life. I think sometimes they think I'm perfect, and maybe this blog will be a real eye opener to them. lol. (Or maybe they don't think I'm perfect--in fact, now that we're finally entering the whole "pre-teen" years with Taylor, I'm almost 100% certain she thinks I'm completely imperfect lol).
But the last reason I blog, is because I have kind of a crazy dream that not many people know about. My dream is to publish a book some day using my life's experiences as a personal self-help book for other people. I love reading self-help books from the library--whether that be on health, parenting, or a religious aspect, and I find myself wanting to do the same.
I have a unique voice, and I realize that. I'm too sarcastic to write anything TOO serious. So I imagine that this future self-help book will be more laid back and fun--a quick read. Maybe on life's lessons I've learned the hard way that others can relate to, or spiritual insights I wished I had known when I was younger.
I dont know...does that sound silly?
Some day I hope to compile all my silly and serious stories to do just that. But honestly, I dont envision that happening for quite a while. But it sure makes me excited to dream about...
