Over the weekend, I was blessed to engage in several meaningful discussions about blogging. Trivial as it seems, it was very helpful for me to dissect the concept so as to better understand where I am coming from as a rookie blogger.
One of my concerns with blogging was about the way that I would come off to readers, i.e. how people would view me based on this cyber sphere that exposes my mind and heart. There is a fuzzy line for the blogger between blogging with good intentions and a clear conscience, and blogging to solicit the praises of men, constructing a pseudo self motivated by pride.
It is my intention that this blog may be an honest reflection of my life, nothing more and nothing less. The blog is a forum created for me to generate intentional and active thoughts on things that are above throughout the day as I sit at my desk, and to enlighten those who peruse my posts. Interpret it as you may, but know that I am attempting as much as possible to "keep it real" and edifying here at la cioccolata e buona.
And for those who are wondering, the title for this blog (with some assistance on the part of my wonderful husband) is "Chocolate is Good" in Italian. This is based on 1 Timothy 4: 4-5...
"For everything created by God is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, for it is made holy by the word of God and prayer."
As chocolate (to me) is one of the richest blessings that our mouths can accept because it is good, may my blog simply be good, too.
