Today – August 8, 2018 – marks the start of my foray into the world of blogging. This has been something I’ve read about, thought about, talked about and dreamed of doing for quite some time. For years I targeted start dates and watched as each came to pass. Hesitant not knowing exactly what I wanted to blog about I’d watch from the sideline as the blog-a-sphere whirled by.
Then in 2016 my husband (who knew little about blogging) successfully launched, cultivated and grew his own blog from a kernel of an idea. I even assisted him from time-to-time, still pondering the notion of having one of my own.
Over the past two years, we regularly listened to podcasts about writing and blogging together. Often he’d continue to encourage me to take the plunge.
One of the podcasts we frequently listen to is ProBlogger, with Darren Rowse (excellent podcast & blog.) Last month my husband signed me up for the 31-day course on Building a Better Blog. It was the incentive I needed to finally take action. When I began the course I vowed to launch my blog on the 31st day no matter what!
So, here I am. This blog is “my coup de grace,” my stroke of grace!
