it has been way too long

I know it has been awhile since I have posted anything on my blog but I have recently realized how important it is for me to have a creative outlet and I think this blog is that outlet.  I would like to become more disciplined in my writing as well as my creativity and I want to use this blog as a way to practice that.  For some reason taking this much time off blogging has made it even harder for me to start it up again.  It is something I love but I keep putting it off!  So this first entry is my attempt to start the process without so much pressure to make it perfect.  If you have stuck with me all this time, thank you!  I hope to be a lot more diligent this time around.
