Finally getting personal

This is my first blog entry EVER. I know, I'm a little late in the game. I used to be so expressive with my writing - as a girl, a teenager, and during my college days. It wasn't until entering the workforce that my writing became part of my career, and more like a chore than anything. Slowly my writing decreased from daily to weekly entries in my diary or journal, to monthly jot downs, to pretty much nothing. But not a single day goes by where I don't think of writing, and since I'm on the computer working all the time, I thought, now is the time to start my blog. I want to write from my heart, and not just for a paycheck. I want to stop limiting my writing abilities to just mundane work assignments, and do what I really want to do. Obviously I will continue, and want to continue, writing for work, but writing for myself is a fire in my heart that has been waiting years to be ignited. And why do I continue to keep putting it off? I need to listen to my soul, instead of responding to my fears. I need to find God, instead of seeking help from doctors or the Internet on the state of my emotional well being. Through writing I will release my fears, express my joy, and find my soul.
