It’s hard to believe that I’ve turned a whim into a regular gig. Yes, when I tried my hand at the blog world last December 30th (that was 2008!), I occasionally visited my site, as a Wordpress newbie, but something happened as time went on. I was drawn into the blog and decided I rather enjoyed it.

I am not one to put up a billboard and announce my latest interest, so this project was mine which I shared with very few people. OK, make that nobody!

I was content with communicating via the computer and my blog outlet. Then one day, somewhere in early spring, I decided to take a bigger plunge, I started to write daily, not just occasionally. I found it a relaxing way to deal with all the information floating around in my head. Reading does that to you!

I wanted an outlet, a means to communicate my food and beverage thoughts. I had an opportunity to comment on items I read, research I uncovered, or just the usual inanities of life. It was time to move on and say thank you and goodbye to Wordpress and join the World Wide Universe. I was ready and even daringly upgraded the appearance of my communication. I still maintained my work-related reporting, but enjoyed the opportunity to expand my writing into a boundless arena.

As we all know, there are no shortage of bloggers. Actually if you look at how many blog posts there are daily, you’ll probably crawl back under the covers. As for food bloggers, that number in itself is shockingly large. We’ve all become experts in one aspect of the food industry or another. There’s so much to say.

The problem may fall at the feet of readers, or of the eyeballs, as so many people are oversubscribed to information and can’t comprehend the jump to an additional outlet they may not need. So I say to you, stay tuned. I still have a lot to say.

I’m ready to blow out my single candle (OK, maybe I’ll fill the cake with lots of candles as my posts number over 300!). Yikes, that’s a lot of words.

At the count of three, help me blow out  the past, and and join with me as I wish a great year for us all.
