This year, I decided not to set lofty, unattainable New Year’s Resolutions. I always vow to journal more, to record more of life’s little moments, and I expect to fill an entire journal by the end of the year. I’m good for the first week, and then my journal sits on the nightstand until the next year when I start over with another blank journal.

There is only one phrase that swirls through my mind when thinking about how this internet space has grown to its enormity, and that is: Creativity is Contagious!

What better way to add authenticity to your life than getting to share it with like-minded people?  There is an inspiration to share your life that grows when another person takes an interest in what you are doing. It’s the best kind of support network a person could hope for.
