An Invitation

April 14, 2013

I’ve been thinking about writing a blog for a long time now. Years. Even as I write the words, it feels a bit cliche. And I find myself thinking, “why do I want to write a blog? What would I write about, and what would be the purpose?”

I smile to myself when I remember I don’t really need a reason why. It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter for you, either. The fact of the matter is that I have an itch to write and spill my guts onto your screen. And I don’t even know who YOU are, but that’s the exciting part.

I am constantly fascinated by the world we live in when I am not being disgusted by it. Ultimately, I want to share my fascinations. I want to geek out with you. I want to connect with people who I would likely never meet in person, but undoubtedly share similar interests with and have the potential for a mutually beneficial and rewarding relationship.

I am happy that in the month and a half time gap between the above statement and now, that I have found a purpose for my blog. Two, actually. The first one, Changes and Challenges on a Path to Understanding, is my blog about my mental health challenges and the realizations that are helping me to grow and be a more happy and balanced person. The other blog, Leadership Wins (which is so new it doesn't have a post at the time of this being published), is simply a place to write about and open a conversation from a short story that displays a universal win for leaders. Understanding is about getting through my pain to be healthier, and Leadership is about celebrating the small victories and learning from them at the same time. When you’re on a healing path, both elements are critical to long term success. Actually, I would say that understanding and leadership are crucial elements of character for the duration of your entire life, don't you think?

I invite you to be a part of my journey :-)
