New Beginnings.

I’ve been thinking – obsessing, really, over what my first post should be.

When you have spent as much time contemplating everything from the title of your blog to the content, the style and the format as I have, this doesn’t sound too surprising.  I’m really looking forward to this new home.  A space for creativity, for reflection and for self improvement.  Always needing an outlet of my own, I found myself here – and I couldn’t feel more content.

I’m aware that I am much too hard on myself.  I’m aware that this space will not be everything I want it to be right from the start – but I am also learning to be okay with that.  I am willing to take it one day at a time – to work on my images, my recipes and ultimately myself through the process.  I am willing to put the work in to make it everything I know it can be.

After days trying to find the best introduction to make, the doubt fell to the wayside just as quickly as the answer became clear.  How can one introduce a new offspring into the world without a proper celebration?  A celebration is never complete without two things – cake and company.   And so a cake seemed the most appropriate of introductions.

Happy “Birthday”, Renderings.  How long I have waited for your arrival.
