The First Bite

Hi everybody!  I am extremely excited,  yet oddly nervous,  about kicking off my "Just a Few Bites" blog. I have so many things I want to discuss, rant about,  explore,  critique, and, of course, spread some knowledge, if I may; all in due time, post by post. I have a lot of ideas of what I want this blog to be, therefore,  I am nervous about getting my voice across and getting a good reception.  However, I am doing this to share what's in my head, my passion,  my inner voice yearning to yell out "Here I am...hear what I have to say about health, nutrition and seriously yummy food!!!!"  So I must just dive in, and be me and hope you all love it...love me??? Ah, you will...hopefully.

I know there are a million and one food bloggers, writers, advocates out there already.  Why one more? What will be so different?  Truthfully,  I don't have an answer.  My goal is to get out what's in my brain,  straining and twisting to get out (virtually speaking) about my take on health fads, foods I like or don't like,  commom misconceptions, pet peeves, what I wish I could change, my stab at prevention,  and who knows what else. 

I feel like I have taken my sweet time in getting this going.  I studied food, nutrition and health ten years ago. While I always worked in aspects of health,  I always thought I should write or design a means of reaching people. I did some writing,  and I also ran programs and also did coaching.  However, I felt I wanted a louder voice, to really get myself across... not what I was supposed to do but what I really wanted to.  Although you play with ideas, sometimes life just gets ahead of you and you put things off...or simply you procrastinate...but really I think things happen when they are supposed to.  I want this blog to be about what I learned and know,  not a journey.   And maybe I didn't know enough before, not about food and nutrition, but about myself...my voice.

So here I am, ready to start my "I'm not 100% sure what this is yet" blog (I don't want to call it a food blog); and hoping to find those that resonate with me and love reading what I want to write. This may become something or nothing at all, but I am happy still to explore this new avenue.

Cheers!
