My intentions for launching this brain vomit space is still not entirely clear to me and it has yet to be determined what exact shape this blog will take. However, I've often wanted a place to empty the tumbling thoughts that occupy my head and this provides that opportunity. Please bear with me and understand that this is as new to me as it is to you, just in different ways - you're reading it for the first time, I'm writing for the first time...you get the idea.
With that profound introduction in mind, let us begin!
I thought I'd start by delving into an explanation of the blog title. I want this to be a space of reflection and contemplation. I want to examine concepts and ideas that I will most often not have answers to. I want to express my own opinions in the hope that I will come to understand them better. It might be good to say that I am not a philosophical person and my posts will not be exceedingly profound, but it is not my goal to attain either of those labels.
First - I want this to be a spotlight. Not because I want a buttload of attention, but because I sincerely want to examine my own opinions and be able to investigate the starting points behind my beliefs. My expectations for this blog is that I'll be able to reflect and sort through whatever is going on in my noggin. Some days it may be rather humorous and other days it may take on a more serious note. Either way, I'm optimistic that it will be beneficial to my own sanity (and hopefully provide some amusement along the way).
Second - I want this to be a looking glass. Not because I am an exceedingly vain person who is obsessed with her own image or ideas, but because I want it to be an honest reflection of what is happening in my life. This won't be a diary or secret journal, but I do hope to address topics in a personal way. It will encompass lessons that I am learning and things that God and I are working through. I won't be spilling my heart, but it will definitely be open.
There you have it. This is the start of something new and different from anything I've done before. Sometimes I will come to illogical conclusions and sometimes there will be no conclusion at all. However, I think it will be fun and I'm excited. In my opinion, we're off to a good start.
