Hello, and welcome to my first blog post on my new site! I have been eager to get this blog going and want to start by saying THANK YOU! Thank you for being here, reading this and supporting what I am creating. It means a lot to me that you are spending some of your valuable time reading my content. My goal is to make it worth your while by providing interesting, enjoyable and useful information.

Through this blog, I hope to share more about my life and some of the projects I am working on within, and outside of Sandrilene. I tend to be more private online and do not post a lot about my self or what I have going on outside of “work” projects. This is a space where I will try to be more open and include more personal content.

I love to read other people’s blogs about their lives and learn more about them. I have always felt a little unsure about sharing the same kind of stories about my life. I have worried about not coming through as authentic or not being able to create a connection with the people reading my stories. Recently, a close friend pointed out some beautiful things about my life that I was not taking the time to notice. She encouraged me to see some of my work through her eyes and to be more open about sharing.

Blogging is something that I have wanted to do for a long time, but has always felt intimidating. I really love to write, and hope to write a book soon, but writing can also be a challenge. Sometimes I struggle to get my “voice” to come through in my writing, so hopefully I will be able to do that more through developing this blog. I hope that you will follow along and reach out with thoughts, comments or your own stories and make a connection.
