Dear __________

I read a lot of blogs. Some seasons of life I have read more than others, but can say that I have consistently followed at least a handful of them for five years now. For some reason, this habit presents a problem when I try to blog. I start to wonder who will read my blog, when they will read it, and what their contributing thoughts would be. I sift my thoughts and weigh what I say, usually ending up with absolutely nothing, as I like to talk about things that please everyone, or I just don't talk at all. (I am not saying this is a good - or bad - trait. It is just what I do.)

Anyways, I do have a small (in more than one way) audience I want to write for. My children. Right now, I only have one sweet daughter. Cora Lisbeth is 8 months old. Sometimes I think about things that I want her to know someday. I don't know if all of those things will come to mind at the right time and in the right place, so something feels right about the idea of writing it all down. So, this is what I will try to do.
