I feel like someone just turned a light on in my head and now I can finally see.   At first I thought writing a blog was like taking dance lessons.  I practice, when I become good enough and something profound occurred, then I perform by writing in my blog.  

Then I realized that blogging is like looking into a two-sided mirror with others watching me.  Wow, do I know how the kids at dance feel now, knowing the parents are watching, yet not being able to see any of the expressions on their faces.  Having been one of those parents, I can say that most parents love to watch their children, they encourage them and really want them to succeed.  I think that those on the other side of my two-sided mirror are like parents at a dance class and are cheering me on in this crazy adventure.  

There are those children that take dance because they long for the big show, their time to shine, while others are in it because they feel the music, love the way it resonates through their body, but do not like to really show it off.   Thus far, I am this kind of writer.  I love the craft, have a passion for organizing my thoughts into lovely and poetic form, but do not always feel the need to share.  I realize that true growth in this area requires me to at least perform a bit and see if others would be interested in coming back for more.
