On going public

I have a confession to make. This is my very first blog. Ever. As someone who has never kept a real diary (except for a nitty-gritty day planner) and remained a spectator of others sparring in electronic spaces, I am approaching this task with some trepidation. To me, it is not unlike shouting to attract attention to myself in the midst of a crowded hall where people have gathered to chat, to network and generally do things unrelated to what I have to say.
