To Blog or Not to Blog

Clearly, blogging is not my thing.  It's been several months since my one and only post.

However, I'd like to try again, because I've heard that blogging can be a helpful way to sort through the crazy amount of ideas that race through my mind on a daily basis.  So........

Top 10 Reasons I Want to Blog
~Not in any specific order~

10.  I can't help but love making my blog look pretty.  :)  I may develop OCD as a result of it.

9.  I have so many ideas floating around in my mind, and it seems a waste not to get them out on "paper."

8.  I've been told people might be interested in my ideas.  We shall see.

7.  It's easier sometimes to share my ideas with possibly no one than to share them with people I know and risk negative feedback.

6.  I hear people like reading blogs.  I also hear people like to read blogs instead of doing what they're supposed to be doing.  I'm cool with procrastination, so I willingly offer my blog as a your procrastination outlet.

5.  I don't want to share my ideas on Facebook.  I'm not the status-updating type.  So instead, I'll share what's on my mind with the world through this venue, and those who care to read and come check it out when they're ready.

4.  Sometimes I feel like I'm in a category of my own.  But if there are people out there that can relate to me, and benefit from my kind of creativity, then why not share with them?

3.  I want a reason to try out some of the ideas I see on Pinterest!  How many of you have Pinterest boards, pinned with awesome ideas that you never get the chance to try out?  ME TOO!  I want to try them out, and I want to see if they're as awesome as they look, and I want to pass them onto others if they are in fact, as awesome as they look!

2.   I want to extend beyond the edges of my "world."  I suppose this could mean a lot of different things, but only time will tell what actually comes of it.

1.  Being a teacher, I know that the greatest ideas come from other teachers.  And I also know that teachers can't always afford to pay for great ideas.  Since teaching (mainly ministry-related teaching) is a HUGE part of my life, it's inevitable that I'll be sharing many ideas from my teaching experiences.  If it's at all helpful to other teachers, then I consider this blog a success!
