I have always loved the written word. I love writing essays, though not publishing them anywhere.  I love reading.  Then one day I came across an invitation from a sports site asking for contributions on any fitness and health topic that interests me.  One of the things I needed to fill out in the form is whether I own a blog, and I had none. Thus the idea of finding  a blog site where I can publish these essays I intend to contribute somewhere in the future became a necessity.  I hope to write about topics which I really enjoy like reading, running, baking, dieting and maintaining  a healthy lifestyle.  I hope to read on other blogs as well, and learn and grow as a writer and reader.
