My First Post

          I've recently become very intrigued by many different blogs that exist on the internet and have decided to start my own. One of the main reasons I have embarked on this new project is to keep in touch with my friends and family.  Since most of my (very large) extended family lives far away, this blog will provide them with an easy way to check up me. Having a chonological account of all of my ideas and activities will be an interesting side benefit.  :)

Hello there,

My name is Nicole and I’d like to welcome you to my blog.  This little personalized space I’ve carved out for myself within the world wide web has surprisingly (or not so surprisingly) become an important part of my everyday life.    My original intent when starting this blog was to create a place that my friends and family (most of whom live thousands of kilometres away) could visit in order to check out what I’ve been up to. 

Now, after 4 months of blogging, I must admit that my reasons have changed.  I now know that updating my blog is a reward in itself, I post because I enjoy it. Of course, it’s wonderful if others are enjoying my updates, but I would do this even if I knew no one was watching.  I’ve also realized that my audience is much, much wider than I was expecting.  In fact, most of the people who view my blog are ‘strangers’ – people who I do not know personally who have stumbled onto my blog because we share similar interests.  There are so many amazing and inspiring people in the blogging community, I am so glad I have become a part of it.  I look forward to sharing my life experiences with any and all who visit me here.

I have many interests that get featured in my posts, and for now, everything is all rolled into my ‘Fawn in BC’ blog.  You will see many posts about bento, mountain biking, boating, crafting/art, my cat, pictures of my surroundings, geocaching and anything else that makes me happy.  I hope I can inspire others to enjoy these things as much as I do. J
