Yes, I've entered the world of "blogdom". A step I would not have imagined just a few months ago. Why now? It's a new year filled with new challenges and new opportunities...
The title for today's post and the title of this blog--One Step Closer--is significant in that this title describes what I hope will be my motto, credo, mantra, mission statement (you name it) this year. A year of being one step closer to my Lord and Savior, one step closer to being the Christian woman I long to be, one step closer to being a healthier lady who carries less weight around--figuratively and emotionally, one step closer to being the writer Christ wants me to be, one step closer to thee....
I imagine by now you get the picture. Getting closer only requires one thing from me: To take a step, maybe just a small step, but a step none the less. If I commit to daily stepping forward, by the end of this year, I should be much closer to where I need to be. That seems so much easier than setting lofty goals. Wouldn't you agree?

I hope these entries give you a little something extra with posts about this southern gal living in the north, about writing, author interviews, new releases, and occasional photos from my photography sojourns. Thanks for reading!

I totally agree! :-)
You go, Girl!
Marian, I think it's very cool to blog. (I have three blogs!) It forces me to think about writing with greater regularity than I normally would, because my blogs mostly address spiritual and literary issues. Mostly.
It also helps you find your "true voice". I find I'm more myself writing my blog than I often am writing a story. No pressure...just me and my opinions and observations.
Now, if I could just transfer it successfully to a novel. :)
Happy blogging.
Mir--who also needs to lose weight..sigh...and could definitely walk closer to the Lord...

Let me know if you want to link to me. Great job. :)
Neat. Naturally I'd like it, though, cause you used the same template I used. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Good for you, Marian! Welcome to blogland!
You go, girl! I'm so proud of you! Now we can blog alongside one another!
You go girl! This is my one of my life's goals as well as encouraging others one step closer to Him.
