Blogging is something that I have been pondering for quite some time.  Several of my friends blog and I enjoy reading their posts. As one who enjoys writing, I’ve been intrigued by this mode of communication, but until now, never stepped out to do it.  I often write to help me reflect and process events in my life, and I must admit, I have been a little scared to do this because it is so public.  It makes me feel vulnerable and exposed. But since my trip to El Salvador in January, I thought this might be a way for me to share some of my experiences there with my friends (and anyone else who surfs and reads this). So this is a start. I can’t promise earth-shattering revelations. I won’t promise to share from the very depths of my being.  What I do promise, though, is honesty and an invitation to conversation.  So let the blogging begin.
