Thanks for visiting this website and welcome. I am Brenda Hamilton and because this is my first blog, I am feeling self-conscious, awkward, and even frightened, like the little kid I used to be, hesitating on the roof of the boathouse before taking a flying leap through the air into Norris Lake. After all, it’s scary to think about starting up something that has the potential to connect with millions of people, might heap terrible criticism on my head, might come across as terribly misled, egotistic or just plain goofy. But it’s time to dive on in because I sincerely know that I have something REALLY important to say. So here I am, willing to imagine, invent, or create any kind of platform on the face of the earth from which to shout my message. I truly feel it is that important. Besides, I remember clearly that after I had jumped in that lake, I loved the way it invigorated me and before long, I was jumping in again and again, each time with renewed gusto. So whee! . . . Kerplunk! . . .
