What’s my Why?

Today’s post — my 50th to date — is a short reflection on why I’m doing this.  By this, I mean why am I blogging?  Why do I share the story of my journey?  I find it’s important to know our “why” for anything we do.  It reveals our intentions and keeps us focused on having the right motivation.  Even as I have discussed some of my most vulnerable moments, most of what I’ve been posting here has been the best life I’ve ever lived.  I do my best when sharing those moments to put it in the larger context where things weren’t always that way.  Even so, I often worry about coming across as bragging – or worse yet, insensitive to those out there who may not feel like they are in this same space right now.  That’s the last thing I want.  In fact, my why is quite the opposite of that.
