Monday Motivation — Start a Blog!

The majority of my most faithful readers (friends and family) do not have a blog. I'm frequently asked by these loved ones as to why I blog. My answer? Because I enjoy it. In fact, I love it. It's my creative outlet where I can document the exploration of life's sweetest delights. The fact that I've always been an avid writer makes having a blog something that easily flows into my routine. I also enjoy photography and have always been tech-savvy, so that's helpful too.  

I know that many of you may have thought about starting a blog but just don't know where to begin. If you pick something you're passionate about, it'll be easy. When you start your blog, don't get caught up in the small stuff. Just get out there and do it! Everything will improve over time. 

The top book on my reading list this week is Blog, Inc.: Blogging for Passion, Profit, and to Create a Community by Joy Cho. Oh Joy! has been a favorite blog of mine for a few years now so it will be fun to get her take on blogging in book. The trailer for the book is pretty much the cutest thing ever. If it doesn't convince you to get out there and blog about your passion, I don't know what will.
