I feel overwhelmed but I need to just pick a starting point….

I registered this blog over a month ago and have spent the time between then and now writing my first blog entry over and over in my head.  It even took me months to register a blog because I was so distraught in naming my blog.  What if I don’t like the name and want to change it later?  What do I want to write about so I can name it properly?  What is my niche?  Do I have a niche?  What is a niche?

Am I sounding crazy enough yet to drive you away?

The bottom line is this:  I love INPUT (more about this later in a future blog).  I love to learn.  I have a thirst for learning and knowledge.  I can’t ever seem to get enough.  My environment used to allow me an avenue to get all that input out. Whether I was in school, my living environment or my social circles, I had some outlet to share all that I was learning.  Somewhere along my travels and living life, I find myself not having that opportunity as much.  Feeling restless, I originally labeled myself as being lonely on some level, but a wise friend helped me to understand that I was really feeling a sense of longing.  She suggested a book club but unfortunately the closest one I could find was about 40 minutes away and meets at a time that would be hard for me to make given my current work schedule.  I thought about going back to school since my company provides tuition reimbursement but they do not pay for doctorate programs (my next step on the business major track).  My other choice would be to pursue a Master’s degree in English and with my current work and life commitments; I just don’t see myself balancing it all acceptably.

So I landed here.  A blog will hopefully allow me the space to output some of my input with whatever audience sees fit to follow me and read.  A blog will gives me more space for my output than just a simple status update on Facebook but does not require the commitment of writing 20 pages either.

I invite you to learn along with me.  From cooking, to music, spirituality, reading, life influences, I invite you to share in it all or pick what you want and leave what you don’t.  My hope is that, if you have a thirst for learning like me, I will help to quench it momentarily….or if you are, at some level, lacking that motivation to learn and explore, that maybe something I say or share will inspire you.
