Like getting on the school bus the first time

You know the scene - your young child, with a heavy backpack weighing her down, turns slightly and casts one final look over her shoulder before she grasps the handrail and hoists herself onto the steps of the yellow bus, which are much too big for her little legs.

That's how I feel right now - uncertain, but with a desire to try something new driving me forward. 

For, you see, this is my first post ever. 

Today, I am dipping my toes in the water of blogging, and I am equal parts excited and nervous.  I hope you will join me as I make my way through this unknown world.
