I just want you all to know - this was not my idea. Doing the 146 things in a year was my idea - all mine. Blogging about it - that was Rob's idea. I thought I would get that out there and throw him under the bus from the very start. I personally wasn't crazy about the idea, since I'm not crazy about the idea about blogging in general. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying anything about all you who document and share your life in the blogging world - in fact, I follow a great many wonderful blogs and really enjoy them. I'm just not sure that blogging is for me. I guess we'll see. My one consolation about giving in and joining the ranks of bloggers world-wide is that this blog has a specific purpose. I will not subject you to my personal ramblings about being a mom to 2 toddler boys or a wife to a self-employed man, I have no recipes to share or real wisdom to convey. I will try to stick to the facts and maybe together we will learn something about justice, restoration and abolition. So if this blog stinks, if you decide not to keep reading - that's fine by me, I'm not going to take it personally. I tried to warn you; after all this wasn't my idea.
