Oh My Goodness! I’m Blogging!!!

Well, I did it.  I took the GIANT leap into the blogosphere.  I feel nervous, excited, and hopeful.  I’ve only told my husband and kids, sister and best girlfriend that I was going to do this.  Maybe I’m a little afraid of failure.  Here goes…

I feel like it’s the first day of school and I’m not sure if I’ll fit in.  My oldest son attributes my new adventure to having watched Julie and Julia last weekend.  While I admit that Amy Adams made blogging look immensely therapeutic and enjoyable, the real reason is that I got a nudge from a Twitter friend this morning.

Last night I was reading a book called Gentle Birth Choices and tweeted about some interesting points regarding the history of waterbirth in various countries.  She mentioned that she enjoyed my posts and wanted to be able to comment on them, then asked me if I am a blogger.  Well, that made me realize that I do have things to share and that women in communities far from me may be able to enhance their health and well-being if I voiced that information beyond my office, circle of friends, and Twitterverse.

So, here I am.  I’m blogging.  Now, I realize that I am a total newbie at this and I will stumble many times before I figure it all out.  So, I ask you, my readers (hopefully you’re out there), to be patient with me and maybe even hold my hand as I take my first few shaky steps. 

I hope to be blogging about a variety of health topics for women that I think are  interesting and beneficial, whether you have children or don’t, are pregnant or not.  Mostly, though my posts will be regarding massage therapy, pregnancy, and birth.  These are my passions and if they are yours, then I hope you enjoy!
