I am so excited to make my first post to my new blog. I can’t believe that I will be arriving in Cozumel almost exactly one week from this moment. I have been busily working all week to get this blog started so that I can have a simple way to communicate with all my friends and loved ones. Now I can take a deep breath and turn to the tasks of packing and moving my final belongings into storage.
First of all, I want to say that I am an amateur blogger. Until five days ago, I knew next to nothing whatsoever about blogging. Now I have my own self-hosted site with my own domain name. I have been amazed how smoothly the process has gone. Please be patient with me as I go through the learning curve of trying to understand background themes, widgets, email subscriptions, side-panels, title pages, and the like. I will try to keep things simple—mainly because I don’t want to spend a significant amount of time in administration/setup.
I have added links to the sidebar that you can use to subscribe to this blog using either an email address or an RSS reader. I apologize in advance if these do not work right, as I have not had the opportunity to play with them much. If you sign up for emails, and none show up in your inbox, please check back at this site to see if I have posted anything. If there are any bugs in the process, hopefully I can work them out with ease.
If you explore my site you will notice that I have added an “About” page which contains a short summary of my life story and a little background about my blog title, and my trip, etc. Sorry that I don’t know how to get you back to this page from the “About” page. The easiest way is probably to simply press the back button on your browser.
If my words connect and register with you—and you wish to share them with others—please feel free to pass along the web address. It is my deepest desire that the things I write will help inspire others to follow their own dreams, to listen to their own inner voices, and to connect with their own spiritual source.
Until next time,
-Brenda
