For Me

Last week my son Trevor asked me why I didn't advertise on the blog(personally, I don't know where they'd put an ad. I've used every available nook and cranny I can find). To my surprise, the very next day I heard a bit on the Today Show talking about how people actually make a living at this. Two criteria; they must have a passion for what ever they are putting on the blog and it must be something that appeals to a larger audience.

Initially, I started this out as an on-line journal. I really didn't want to edit it(what would my sister think?) or make apologies(of course I wasn't talking about you!). What I wrote would represent what I was thinking at that very moment. The next day I might wake up and wonder what drugs I had taken but still a moment in time...no explanations. I've kept to that rule. For the most part. I have done some mental screening. Mostly to protect the guilty. But you know, I'm 54 and I have a lot to share.

So today marks a new day. I'm not sure about the advertising. But I am sure about this: My blog has always been about me evolving and taking everything that I have ever experienced, (by choice or not) to become a more authentic and responsible person. Maybe part of that responsibility includes sharing. Even the dark and scary parts.

Fair warning...you may not like what I have to say. You may not agree. You might think I'm writing about you.

This has the capacity of being the best thing I've ever done...for me.
