Why I began to write

The blog is not meant to be a religious forum. I do reflect on more than religious matters, because I am not a piece of paper with only a back and front view. However, because religion is the center part of who I am. I often reflect about the teachings of Christ. I seek not to trivialize the Savior but rather to acknowledge his presence in my life bumby roads and all.

Even if no one ever reads this blog...thats okay...I write for me, and in the hopes that someone one day may be spare from hearteache. I don't pretent to know it all. As a matter of fact I acknowledge that my perspective is one of many that can be true. However, often in life more than one person can be right about doing something a certain way, and yet someonelse can be right too, neither of them being completey wrong or completely right.

I like to write. Although, I have spelling limitations. I have always had them, yet I believe in progress. I hope to progress in that too. The lessons I have learn are applicable to many, in different ways.

Writing comes in my vains as it is part of the legacy Jose Jesus Barajas, left behind. He was my grandfather. A men that understood sorrow because he suffered much but yet in writting found release of his bitter heartache.

When I was a little girl and my mom use to call him to say hi, he would always ask to speak with me. He would ask me... how I was doing in school. My reply was always a plain, I'm doing good.

He would tell me...you know, you need to put a lot of effort into learning to write for you will publish the books that I don't get to publish. During his life he only publish one book, but yet that book wone an award, for the content in writing. I don't have a copy of the book neither do I know the name but when I go to Mexico again I will make sure to look it up.

In the mean while I write because I like to express what I feel and to share what I know. I'm reminded of the song by Lee Ann Womack - Something Worth Leaving Behind, basically it talks about what we leave behind and I don't hope "to go down in History, I just want someone to remember. If I would love I will find that I have touch anothers life and that is something worth living behind".
