A few disclaimers

1. I don't write. I'm not a writer. I'm not good at seeing/doing something and expressing it on paper. So if this blog is boring, that's why! :)
2. I've never written a blog. I don't think I have ever even kept a journal. So i am going to try to be as open and vivid as possible for those of you that are actually interested in what's going on.
3. I've had a bit of anxiety and nervousness about keeping a blog. 1. Because of the aforementioned and 2. because it make me vulnerable
4. I am not an open person (for the most part) so part of my reason for this blog is to work on that through writing. We will see. 
4. I probably won't proof read these. So yes there will be typos, and spelling errors. So you might just have to deal with it. I apologize in advance. 

I have spoken with 2 of my good friends of my nervousness over writing a blog. Leah who has always been my voice of reason/personal cheerleader has given me some wonderful advice and I can only hope to heed that advice and do the best that I can. My other friend is an incredibly talented songwriter/artist/musician. He has written more songs in the past 6 months than I could only dream of writing in a lifetime. Regardless of whether all of his songs/thoughts/writings come to fruition, I think it is an incredible thing to be able to write so freely. He too has given me some good advice on keeping this blog somewhat interesting for you all and for myself. So for them I am grateful and only time and experiences will tell how those simple words of wisdom will effect my writing. 

So there you go. My disclaimers for the blog. Also a few of you have asked me what my travel schedule is looking like and what countries I will be visiting,  so here it is:
