How do you start a blog?!

Hello family, friends, and mysterious strangers of the internet! I've spent several hours on the mower contemplating what this first blog post should include. Should it be serious? Or funny? How personal should it get? Should I start off general? Or write about someone famous? How about a cool place I've been? But then thoughts like, "maybe I should wait til I have more time" and "I should hold off until I talk with an experienced blogger" started creeping in. Before I knew it, it had been a month since that warm summer breeze and fresh cut grass smell convinced me I needed to finally get my passion on paper and start blogging.

Today, I decided it was the day. My bucket list for summer is only growing, and I'm learning exciting things worth sharing NOW. At work, as I counted out tickets and sorted envelopes, daydreams of viral agvocacy posts filled my mind. A few clever titles got me even more excited, and by the time I got home I couldn't wait to open my laptop. Finally, once the website was set up and a few got pictures arranged, clearly I was running out of time. After writing down "my roots" I had so many thoughts my head was spinning even more. Please check out that page and come back soon for a more official first post. Thanks for joining the roots journey!




P.S. Aaaahhhhh! It's really happening! I'm actually a blogger!
