So, my hubby made this blog for me for Valentine’s Day.  That was two months ago.  I have been putting off starting it for as long as I can.  There is no going back now.  I will either put everything into it, or it will just “be” here on the net with no content.  I chose the former.

Now that I am going to put everything into it, I’ve realized exactly why I was putting it off.  I don’t want to waste a whole lot of time on it.  So, I will go ahead and be honest and say that I have no idea how often I will blog about something new.  Although I may surprise myself and not find it hard to blog at all.  We’ll see.

What’s in the name?  Well, I went back and forth forever on what to call this silly thing.  In fact, that is one of the reasons that I haven’t had a personal blog before now!  I couldn’t come up with a “cool enough” name to give it.  Then one night after thinking hard about what I wanted the purpose of my blog to be, I came up with Stepping Softly.  I felt for sure that it was already taken.  Guess not!  Now it’s taken by me.

• The name is across the board a pretty good description of one part of my life.  For starters, I am a soft stepper.  I married the most heavy footed man on earth.  And I am trying to teach my children how to be light footed.  We will see how that turns out.  I like to be quiet.  I walk quietly, I close doors quietly, I empty the dishwasher quietly, etc.  I am not a loud person, except when I am talking.  Every once in a while, Chris will say, “Stop talking so loud,”  and I’ll say, “What?  Am I talking like my Dad?”

Whatever, I digress.

• The most important reason that I like Stepping Softly is that I am what my bestest friend calls a tree hugger.  She says this in the most loving of ways.  She makes fun of me, but I am slowly but surely infiltrating her.  I choose to step softly on the Earth in which we live.  I do this in many, many ways.  You will just have to stay around to find out what they are.  What?  Did you think that I would just list them out right here and now?  No way Jose.

The purpose of this blog is to let others into my life, whether that be family, friends, new friends, or just lookers.  I want them to see me and what I am about.  If you stay here long enough, you will definitely find out what I am about.  I am not afraid to talk about anything.  So, beware!  It’s coming!  That one thing that you never wanted to know about me!  Or, it could be that one thing you never wanted to know is out there.
