When I first started blogging again back in December, I have to admit, I didn't know how it would go. My previous blog was just for class purposes, and I only shared it with my followers on Twitter. I wasn't brave enough to share my thoughts on social media with my Facebook friends... what if I wasn't an expert?! The beauty about blogging is that you don't have to be an expert... on anything! What I have enjoyed most about my blog is how it has strengthened my interaction with others, without talking about much at all!
For example, I don't feel like I'm training for this half marathon alone. Almost everyday someone asks me how my running is going and what my first race will be. I love this encouragement! I have received so much great advice from runners, non-runners and people who just want to send well wishes. This would have never happened without my blog. Additionally, I've found that it's held me accountable (thanks for doing what I asked you to do!). Every single time I'm feeling lazy or like I don't want to do it anymore, I think of you guys. Moral of the story is: share your goals in life with others! It adds a little bit of pressure, but it's exactly what I need to get through this crazy decision I've made :)
Another thing I love about blogging is that I feel like it's inspired others. I don't think of myself as inspirational, but I think All The World's A Stage has been. I have had so many friends ask me about blogging as a way to speak their mind. One of my very good friends is a stay at home mom, and she just started a blog as a way to have an adult conversation everyday. I love it!
So these are just a few things I love about blogging. Stay tuned for more as the journey continues :)
