Origins

Welcome, 2015! I wasn't expecting you so soon! Won't you come in? It's terribly cold outside. Tell me about yourself. No? Well, I guess I'll just meet you along the way. I do hope you treat me at least as well as 2014, but more than that I hope you're a year of insanity and adventure and growth and love and madness.

And Readers, welcome! I do hope your new year has started well. I wanted to introduce you to my blog. This place actually started in late February of 2011, during a time when I decided I needed change, and I needed it right then, and I was the only one to do anything about it. I called it 30 Days to Dare, and during the month of March I tried to push myself into doing things that scared me, or excited me, or simply open doors to new possibilities. I decided that this year will be the same.

Now is the time to make change, to chase dreams, to fall in love again and again and again (with your spouse, with your dreams, with yourself). It'll be scary, but won't it be fantastic! Join me on my journey, if you so please. I'm making goals for this year. Hey, keeping some kind of journal is one of them! Not to mention I'd like my family to know that I'm still alive and I'm doing quite well. c:

Why "Days to Dare"? I've lived most of my life in fear. Like a lot of people do, really. And isn't that silly? You only get one life (well, unless you believe in reincarnation, but who knows what you might end up with in your next life), and why waste it by sitting around not chasing dreams? These are my days to dare. Your days to dare. This is the only time your now will be now. Or now. Ooooor now. So. Let's go for it, right?
