My First Blog

Some of you may ask - how come she is discovering the world of blogging only now? To be honest with you, I have wanted to blog for a long long time now. I'm not sure what was truly holding me back. Perhaps I was scared to step into something that involved opening myself up in such a way that literally the whole world could see. That is a scary thought. But my belief in life has always been the greatest risks yields the greatest rewards. I am not sure what I want to achieve with my blog yet. I do know that I want to reach out to people and share my story and maybe even help others with my stories. And boy...believe me...I have stories to tell!

People have always told me I should be a writer as a career. It isn't like I haven't entertained that thought. I have enjoyed writing since I was 12 or 13 years old. It started with short stories that then developed into poetry. Eventually, I had the lofty goal of publishing my very own book. That book was started when I was in high school and is still in the works. Of course, now I have a completely different idea on what sort of book I want to write and publish. I do hope to still achieve this dream one day.

I decided to use "serendipity" as the title for my blogs. The reason being? Plain and simple. Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. I hope that for those of you who have taken the time to come and check out my blog may discover something surprising that you did not expect, something that will keep you coming back again and again.

Life is so short and the older I get the more I realize this. If I can touch but one soul in this world and make an everlasting impression, then I would say I have lived a good life. I hope that my blog can reach those of you out there who may need a shoulder to cry on or someone who you can talk to. I have been told I am a good listener. I used to think that I was alone in this world with the experiences I have gone through and the struggles I still have to face to this day. Now with blogging, that world is much less lonely and much more connected as I have found many people who have gone through similar experiences or more.

I hope this can be a forum where we can reach out to each other. See you all out there...the world of bloggers.
