Long time, no see...


It is time to get back into it.  I love to write, why do I have a hard time actually writing?  I don’t know.  I get lots of encouragement to write, and I think it is high time I get back to it. No excuses.
                                                                                    
I sometimes wonder if my reluctance is fear.  Fear of criticism.  Problem is, criticism is required to improve oneself; but it must be delivered with encouragement.  Criticism is funny. If you criticize too much or too often, one can lose faith in oneself.  He loses hope, ambition, and the love of what he enjoys.  At the same time criticism, when dealt with respect and encouragement, can have the opposite effect.  Giving then, someone hope, ambition, and a self-love that is often difficult to achieve alone.

So here I am.  Ripping off the Band-Aid, and opening myself up to criticism.  I am not so naive as to think I am free from judgment, rather the contrary.  Judge me.  Help me to grow and learn.  We can only learn, and better ourselves by making mistakes – good or bad.

I promise to write more.  I also promise I will get better. Stick with me, this will be a fun ride!
