Everybody has to start somewhere.

I've been thinking about starting a blog for a while now.  Not because I think that what I have to say is particularly interesting but for the following reasons (amongst others):

1. I've been wanting to do some more writing;

2. I've been inspired by the blogs and websites of some friends and people I follow on Twitter; and

3. I'm planning some fundamental changes to my life and I'm hoping that, as a means of creative expression, it will help me make sense of what is going on.

So here goes.  In the words of Nina Simone, "It's a new dawn; it's a new day; it's a new life for me" (which, frustratingly wouldn't all fit as the title of my blog).  Bear with me!
