Springing Forward

We all have something to say, something to share.  An observation (or several) worth telling to as many people who will listen.  Today I've realized that I should not be afraid to tell my stories, and continue to deny myself my love of writing for fear of becoming too vulnerable. 
I've wrestled with starting a new blog for a long time now, with all the dark and highly effective reasons for not doing one consistently penetrating the forefront of my mind: no one will like it, you'll open yourself to criticism, people will judge you, you're exposing yourself too much, what you have to say doesn't mean anything to anyone.  
Maybe all of the above is true.  But right now, in this moment, I don't really care anymore.  If someone doesn't like what I write, well, that's probably likely, and it's also OK!  And as my dear friend and mentor would say to me, "Jac, sometimes you just have to do things for yourself."  So that's why I'm here.  I'm going to become a better writer by delving in to my present, past, and future, and writing about what I see and find in this beautiful life.  The only thing I have to lose is time.
