I am always amused by blogging about blogging but I’ve done it before and this post came to me when I was lying in bed wide awake at 3:00 a.m.
I had just woken from a dream in which I was in a field being bombarded with large flying objects coming at me out of the sky, ducking for cover, while Laurie Ruettimann was trying to convince me to start a new multi-million dollar business venture with her in Tel Aviv keeping terrorists out.

And now you know why I have a lot of insomnia.
10 reason to start a blog
1. You have a goal. Whether your goal is to run an ultra- marathon or lose 50 pounds or learn to cook or build a basket-weaving business, you can learn about it through blogging. At the same time you can 2. document your journey in order to give you 3. accountability as well as 4. share it with others such as friends, family, colleagues, and/or others in the webosphere with similar interests.
5. To improve your career. Whether you have a business, are an employee, or just want to continue to 6. build your network by 7. sharing your expertise and conversing with others, a blog can help you. A blog can lead to 8. conference invitations, 9. speaking engagements, and 10. opportunities for new jobs and/or project work. It’s a place for you to demonstrate your knowledge and interests…and to be found.

I started my blog as a way to journal as the older I get the more I have to emotionally or mentally process but the less tome I have to spend doing so writing it out longhand with pen & ink. Some who had read from my journals in the past suggested I try blogging. So I did, and I like it! I laughed when I clicked on yours and saw the graphic up top – that can be so true!
