Newness Blog

I have had online journals and even posted on myspace and facebook at times. Yet, I haven't had an actual blog until now. I am far from the original creator of blogging experiencing new things. I will posting new things I experience whenever they come to me. Then starting on my 29th birthday I will do one thing new daily and post it. I had originally thought of naming this blog Newness. What a beautiful word. It reminds me of Nudeness such as the moment of birth or being pure. But I found several blogs with that name. So I found the beautiful Italian term bella scoperta which means what a revelation! or beautiful revelation. I felt that described what I want my experience to be. As many of you know I am not afraid to try new things. I am open to the beautiful cultures and experiences in this world. Even if it a thing, place, experience, etc. is not my personal belief I am still open to the things that make the world go round as the saying goes.

I first got this wondrous and fun idea from a 29 year old named Jen who was all over CNN a few months ago. She is doing a blog about doing something new everyday for the full year before her 30th birthday. I read it faithfully everyday and every time I want to jump out of my seat to try new things. What a wonderful way to experience life! I was going to wait until my 29th birthday on March 3rd, but I could not wait. I have several new things that will be happening before then (Going to L.A., etc.) so why not start up the engine? I welcome any LEGAL suggestions of new things. P.S. This is a blog so as much as I will try to keep with proper grammer and spelling, I won't stress it out and ask you not to either. Yes, it is a petpeeve of mine when people point petty things like that out, so don't push your luck.

So since I can not credit this new thought, I must cite my idea from this blog : http://www.jen365.blogspot.com/

At Thanksgiving dinner we were discussing my cousin Gina's blog while she is in the Peace Corp in Paraguay. My mom, being pretty much computer illiterate, asking "what is a blog?". Mom, thankfully you have a librarian for a daughter so for you and well, probably no one else, here is a Websters Dictionary definition for you.
