Taking A Bow

The internet. Such a powerful force. Used for both good and bad, like most everything else in this world. It has become an increasingly popular platform to boldly speak our thoughts and opinions. Every time I log on I am bombarded by videos, articles, pictures, and blog posts; each shouting their own opinions. Because of the mass quantity, these voices simply float away into the sea of varying opinions.  Some are more interesting than others. Some I agree with, some I don't. But none of them have radically changed my life.

This knowledge caused me to take a second look at my own posts. I have enjoyed voicing my thoughts for the past three years here on this blog, but I'm afraid each post eventually leaves the mind of the reader as they scroll to the next big idea. I want to make a difference in this world, and I don't believe that will start by the things I've written hiding behind a computer screen, in competition with a thousand others. I do believe that it will start with actions and words, coming personally from my own mouth and heart. 

S this is me saying thank you to those who kept reading despite my questionable grammar. For the encouraging responses. For the questions. For the challenges. And more importantly for loyally listening to my one opinion among one million. I will still voice my thoughts and opinions, but hopefully in a more impacting way.

I will now take a bow and kiss my internet voice goodbye.
