So, why am I writing a blog?

So why am I writing a blog? Why do I need to add to the world of numerous blogs and what do I need to say that someone hasn’t said already? Well for one I will give my list of books with a small critique on each one. Next, I will share my passion for cooking and share what I know is tried and true in the kitchen. Lastly, I feel that the older I get the more I need to share my voice with just about anyone who wants to listen. Maybe it’s passing on bits and pieces of wisdom that triggers a thought that others may find interesting.By the way, editing a blog is rather funny because the stream of consciousness writing is hard to control. Not at all like graduate school where my second drafts had so much red ink I could barely read the corrections. So forgive me if my writing is sub-par at times. I am trying to get out all of my thoughts.
