What made you decide to start a blog? If you've blogged about this before, go back and read it. Is that still the reason? What's changed? #postaday2011

I have a wonderful job that provides me the opportunity to engage in conversations with others. Frequently I do must of the listening. Sometimes I talk a bit more than those I'm in a conversation with. On more than one occasion I have been told, "You should write a book" or "I wish more people could hear you say that." I might write a book one day. I will continue to have conversations with people. In between I thought I would blog some of my thoughts, experiences, curiosities, and conundrums for others consideration.

The reason I began blogging hasn't changed but I have gained more reasons to blog since beginning. It is a refreshing release on some intense days. Blogging causes me to pause and reflect who I am, where I am, what I am, and how that is working out for me. I haven't promoted My Two Cents other than including the link on Twitter and Facebook. If folks find this, sweet. If they don't I'm still enjoying the place to put my thoughts.

Now specifically about the #postaday2011 challenge. I struggle to pass on a challenge. I struggle to not take someone's "double dare." I don't know what that is all about except that I enjoy a challenge. So when I hear about the Word Press Post-A-Day 2011 Challenge, I signed on. It has been a joy to have prompts to begin my writing moment each day.
