Why Blog?

People blog for a lot of different reasons.  They blog to make us laugh, cry, heal, listen, and change. They blog to question, to rant, and maybe even to annoy.  I am blogging to think.  Actually, I’m blogging to think out loud.  Something happens when we speak our thoughts or put them on paper. In that moment we have the opportunity to hear ourselves more clearly, maybe even differently, and to know ourselves better.   Thinking out loud also creates the possibility of thinking out loud together.  As we respond to each other’s observations, stories, hopes, and concerns, we weave a rich cloth of human connection that has the power to extend our reach and to enrich our souls.

Now for my thoughts, and perhaps a conversation about resilience, relationship, and hope.
