Blogging

I'm a writer. It's in my blood, my brain, my soul. I put my thoughts down on paper or type them with my computer -- it's how I've always preferred to express myself. I love blogging because it's a chance to just write about whatever's on my mind. I've been a blogger since 2004, but for the past year or two I've gotten out of the habit. I miss blogging.

I'm starting this blog for a variety of reasons. The main one is that I no longer feel comfortable being "myself" online, particularly on Facebook. I'm always hesitant to post or share things for fear of what others will say or think, no matter the topic. Don't get me wrong, I think differing opinions are good -- but unfortunately many people I know tend to judge the opinion-holder rather than the opinion.

So, this is me, or the me I wish I could be, if my mouth was as loud and opinionated as my brain and if my heart didn't care about being judged. I chose the title "Mamadelphia" because two of the things I'm most opinionated about are motherhood and the city in which I live. But it's just as likely that I'll post about things that don't have much to do with either topic.

Stay tuned!
