Another assignment from my class with Kim and Xanthe. We were asked to reflect and answer the question, "Why do I blog?" (Not to be confused as the same questions as How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.)
A flurry of reasons fly into my head, so rather than elaborate in detail, I will list them here in no particular order.
- To purposefully focus on the gifts bestowed on me daily because of God's mercy and share it with others
- To be heard and be known
- To create a place of solace and serenity in the chaotic storm of our society
- To relish in the passions of my life: faith, photography, creativity, contemplative life, and family
- To commune with others who crave for other creative souls who march to the beat of a different drummer
- To leave behind a legacy to my children and grandchildren
- To glorify God
- And a bunch of other reasons that will come to me when I'm in the shower <smile>
