I’ve never blogged before. I love the concept. I read them avidly, sometimes just pieces of posts because I get side-tracked onto other pages, links, tweets, whatever. I love its interconnectedness.

I’ve had this page for months and all that’s changed is the banner. I look at my blank site every few days and wish for something interesting to flow from my brain and through my fingers but nothing happens. Terrified of putting myself out there to the masses (or maybe to nobody at all); blowing a chance to use this page to be useful. But I’m on a plane home from a work trip to Guatemala, my second overseas work trip in the past month, and I feel inspired – and maybe a bit more comfortable in dumping words out there to see what happens. I meet such interesting people and our interactions – even if as quantity of time they are so insignificant –add new layers of thought that grow my perspective of the world. So this page is for whatever is thematically relevant to me in the moment. It’s my way of taking part in the vastness of the web, somewhat on my own terms while hoping it’s not just a one-way conversation. What’s the point in that? So here’s the first step.
