The Beginning

Hello, welcome to my blog. Tasha, I mainly mean you.

It's surreal to be typing my very first blog entry by choice. Up until now, I've been pretty successful in dodging the technological communication wave that's taken over everything. I do email quite frequently, though mostly for work. And yes, I have a facebook account, but I only started so I could play Scrabbulous, which, incidently, isn't even available anymore. Now it's just collecting the dust and cobwebs that seem to accompany most of my good intentions. I've never had any desire to have my own website, blog or twitter account. It takes a lot of effort, writing. I've never really enjoyed it to be honest. And to intentionally write for an audience, to allow yourself to be a little raw and unfiltered, yet confident enough to believe that what you're saying is worthy to be read...that takes a boldness I don't have on a regular basis.

So why start? I have a few reasons, on which I may or may not elaborate at a later time. But the ultimate catalyst was the decision to do a detox program with a lovely friend named Jess. It's 4 weeks, starting tomorrow, March 4th. I guess I decided to write about it, first of all to hold me accountable, but also I felt like if I approached it as if I was writing an educational article then I'd be sure to take it seriously and not be worried about the cost involved, monetary or otherwise.

So with that having been said, wish me luck, I guess?
