Plumerias became my favorite flower while I was in Hawaii. The resort had trees all over the place and I'd pick a flower to put behind my ear every single day.

Paradise Found
Went to Hawaii in December with my family. I took sooooo many photos. It's not even funny. I'll try to post a few of them here.
Hiiiiiii.
It seems I've forgotten that I have a blog.
Many apologies. There are things that I've wanted to share, but never got around to posting. I need to get on the ball!!

If you haven't tried it, you must immediately.
Your tummy will thank you.
Because I said so, that's why.

She never claimed to be perfect.
This blog, much like my life, is a work in progress. I procrastinate far too often. I neglect it to an embarrassing degree. I realize I should have done something with it well after the fact. Maybe one day I’ll be happy with it. I’m referring, of course, to my life just as much as I am my blog, but that is another story for another day.
Most often, I find myself at a loss for words when it comes to this blog. I think it all comes down to fear. I fear that, because I don’t have an interesting career or live in an interesting place, or lead an interesting social life, that I have nothing to say. No one would be interested in reading about my life or my thoughts, I think.
I also have a deep seeded fear of offending readers who may happen to stroll in, as well as the few regular readers I do have. I wouldn’t want anyone to be put off by something I might say or do. I realize that not everyone is going to agree with me and my beliefs, and I don’t expect them to, but I tend to stay away from “hot-button” issues for that reason. I don’t understand why I feel this way, because I don’t stop reading my regular blogs simply because I read a post I don’t agree with. It doesn’t make sense, but I worry that I will run people off for various reasons. Politics, which I am passionate about, is very polarizing. So is religion, where I find myself with more questions than answers.
I’m sure plenty of bloggers face this kind of writer’s block, and I’m trying to figure out why I feel this way, and more importantly, how I can get over it. It’s hard to think about putting yourself out there on the net, making yourself vulnerable to criticism, for your beliefs or opinions. That is natural, but I shouldn’t let it prevent me from blogging, which it does from time to time. Have any of you experienced your own “blogging fears” over the months or years you’ve been writing? Feel free to comment & respond. I’d love to hear your thoughts!!

Happy Easter!!
A little session of dying Easter eggs for myself, my brother Josh & his girlfriend Valerie. I'll post more pictures when I get a chance. This egg was a mistake, but it ended up being my favorite after I doctored it up a lot. Serendipity!!

Did you leap?
I'm rather late on this, but I hope everyone had a great leap day!
p.s. I am testing out the "blog this" feature on flickr, which I've always seen, but never paid attention to. If it proves to be efficient and convenient, I will be greatly excited. One of the main reasons I have been so neglectful of my blog is all thanks to the "365days" project on Flickr. Taking & uploading a picture of myself every day has proven to be more time-consuming than I ever imagined and my little blog has fallen victim to time constraints. If I can blog some of the pics that I upload to flickr, it will be an immeasurable time saver. *fingers crossed*
