First of all, if you've dug this far back in the archive... WELL DONE! You made it all the way back to my first post and you are a champion! If you've made it this far, I can only assume that you really love my content and want to know more about the story behind the blog!
Now, without further ado, allow me to say this:
I DID NOT WANT TO START A BLOG.
To clarify, I will make this edit: I did not want to start another blog. I have started (umm) one... two... three... maybe four blogs? I am proud of the content I produced with all of them, but here's the thing: I lack consistency. I would blog regularly for a couple of weeks and then miss a few days here and there, and then miss a week here and there, and then a month or two, and then I was embarrassed to go back and explain that I was just irresponsible and busy so I completely gave up!
So... why did I decide to start a brand-new blog after all of those failures?
This answer isn't exactly simple, so let me take you back a couple of years and we'll begin there.
