Blogging. It sounds like something a drunk person is trying to do. Well, I hope to express things a little more clearly than a drunk person would, anyway. So, why am I blogging? Why does anyone blog? I have something to say, that I feel like I need to share publicly? I suppose.
The other day, some random thoughts were running through my head, as they usually do, and a little voice jumped out and said, "why don't you try blogging some of this?" "Some of what?" I asked back. No answer. "Besides, who will listen? Or read, for that matter?" After a pause I sort of pushed the thought to the back of my mind. Either that, or something else pushed its way forward. So a few days later, I received a wonderful compliment. Someone cares about what I have to say, about my opinions, and asks for my advice on things, and thinks I have some valuable information. She got the idea of doing this in my head again. Hmmm...
Well, I do like to help people and share information. What information might that be? I'm trying to go more "natural" in my life...healthier, cleaner food, personal products, household products, etc. I know, not so revelational (I made that word up just now). Organic food- yeah, expensive and only for hippie food snobs, right? I have to think back to what it was like before I opened my eyes (brain) to this kind of thinking. What, everything on store shelves isn't perfectly okay to use? You must be crazy to think it might not be. The government is there to regulate everything that is allowed to be sold to the general public. Right? Right?? The answer is really not so simple. Back to my point, I've done some research and reading over the past few years, learned a few things, tried some things, and feel that it is something worth sharing with others. I realize that some people, like I have done, take many things for granted and just don't think about these things, or may not be aware of them. So, in the coming posts, I will attempt to put some of this information, which includes my thoughts and opinions, into some kind of coherent compilations for people to read and kindly respond with feedback via the comments.
I know I have some like-minded friends out there and I always welcome your input. It is comforting to know I'm not the only crazy one, and we learn from each other. Lady Niblet's Mama, Little E's Mommy, and "Aunt Stephanie," thank you for your inspiration and support. This is for you.
