Out of the Gate

It finally happened. It probably would not have without the gentle yet effective persuasion of someone close to me. We have had conversations about it in the past with her offering to help and me not committing. She finally took the step that hooked me - she set up this blog and offered that we maintain it jointly. With the offer of such effective support, it was an easy decision to make.

You see, she is a blogger already (http://allisonmarie.wordpress.com/) and has been blogging for years. Her posts keep me coming back to see the new ways she finds to express herself, her emotions and feelings, her view of the world. Her posts make one think and consider things from different points of view. She helps me grow.

Getting started at something new is difficult without the right guidance and motivation. Thank you, Allison, for this gift.
