Initial Blog

This excursion is something I've thought about for a long time. I've just never really known which direction I wanted to go with this. Oftentimes, I write simply to get things off of my chest, and a lot of that material was directed inward to me. I wondered, though, if others out there had similar internal conversations about themselves and their place in society.

The other reason for this blog is that I have found our greatest tools are our character and our power to choose. The problem is that most people do not realize that they have these tools at their disposal. How much change could we make, how many rights could we wrong, how powerful could we be if we simply embraced the philosophy of choice? Every thing we do, everything we are, relates to choices we make (or have made) in our lives. Granted, some of those choices may have been under duress, and some may not have been the right ones, but then other choices have preceded (or succeded) that moment to allow us to do our best from where we are at this very moment.

For now, let's give this a shot for a little while. Let's remember how much power we have inside of us, and use it for the best of our neighbors and ourselves.

Thanks for reading,
