Call it coincidence that I was catching up on ‘Glee’ this weekend and witnessed yet another moving rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” from Les Miserables. I call this coincidence because days before I had started working on this blog post on Susan Boyle. Who is Susan Boyle, you say? Susan Boyle is the middle-aged woman who appeared on Britain’s Got Talent in 2008, and despite being mocked and judged by her physical appearance, went on to perform one of the most captivating television performances of all time. The song she sang – “I Dreamed A Dream”. Now, I’m not one to watch a show like Britain’s Got Talent. Seeing as I live in Canada I’m not even sure I would have been given the opportunity. However, the buzz on this performance has refused to go away and a few months ago I broke down and looked up Susan Boyle on YouTube. Seven minutes later I knew I had to share this inspiring story, and share the inspiring video of her performance.

Susan grew up singing at

Have you ever thought about starting a blog? Or have you ever wanted to write about something that you are passionate about? This is the situation I found myself in last year – wanting to write and share with others ideas on how to live inspiring lives. Today you are looking at what resulted from that want, and today I will share with you what I have learned from my first 90 days of blogging. I hope to hear from you (via comments) any questions you may have on blogging so that you, too, can start writing your own wonderful blog.
Getting started
