30 Day blog Challenge- Day 1: Why Did I start a blog...

I haven't written in a while and I figured the best way to get my creative juices flowing would be a little exercise designed by the Suitcase Entrepreneur ( http://suitcaseentrepreneur.com/blogchallenge/blog-challenge-day1). The Challenge for Day 1 is: "Write a post on why you started your blog, who you wanted to reach, what you wanted it to be all about. Then state why you joined this blog challenge and what you want to get out of it." So let's get started! 1. I started a blog because my life as a whole felt stale, boring, and unsatisfying. Pretty simple, right? Not in the least. Because of starting this blog, it originally shed a light on some of the aspects of my life that I had allowed to become stagnant. Not just the fun stuff, but the adult stuff that I had let fall by the wayside. And it was because of this blog that I actually changed so many aspects of my life. (ending a long term relationship, new job, some serious re-evaluating of my self, goals, plans, etc). 2. Who did I want to reach? EVERYONE!! Mwahahaha! The real goal was always to reach, meet(via interweb), and chat with like minded people who wanted to live their lives to the fullest extent of their capabilities. People who believe in making the most of NOW. Because tomorrow doesn't really exist. It is merely a manufactured idea to allow us as a society to put things off. And to be honest, I am just glad that anybody reads my blog! But, yeah, it is still "everyone". I wanted my blog to be about taking the "crazy", extraordinary things that we all planned to do, and doing them. One item at a time. 3. I joined this blog challenge because I need something to get my blogging ass back in gear. Check out the bliggity-blog as I post more of the Challenges! Love, Ruth
