A First Time For Everything...

I've mulled over starting a blog for years. But as I've found in life, things happen when they're supposed to. So, here I be.

This is really just a rough first step, I think. I just needed to see how it feels to start. I honestly don't know what my exact goal for this blog is, but as an artist, a writer, etc., I have and will have thoughts about my process, about other related things...Thirty-six years of artistic expression, and I feel like I'm just scratching the surface. Thirty-six years, and I'm more excited now than I've ever been, because my art has somehow begun to minister to me in a way that it never has, as though something has been awakened. It's a strange way to put it, I know, but that's the most honest way I can describe it. But in its own way, the artistic process has always had a captivating effect on me. You know you love something when you forget to eat and have to force yourself to move away from the keyboard, paper, canvas, whatever, to make sure you don't pass out. (HA HA) It's always been this way. But now, it all feels new, as though I'm discovering things for the first time, and I thank God for it.
