To blog or not to blog?

Orignally posted November 25, 2009:


The short answer is that this is something I've considered for more than a few weeks now.  I figured I should give myself a shot at blogging, now that I'm well past the old Xanga/Livejournal days of my late teens.  I've recently started reading more blogs lately, largely because of strengthening interests in personal finance and ethical food sourcing/healthy and mindful eating.  I came to realize that many of the bloggers out there weren't just using blogs as an outlet but as a tool to accomplish goals.  So, I think I come here - to my newly christened space on the internet - to give myself a place for accountability and exploration of a number of things I've been working on...or that I've atleast had my mind on, including:  keeping my finances in order to meet short and long-term goals; practicing mindful eating that helps my body and the planet; and enjoying the process of getting into better shape.
