Well I guess I should say Hello to the world, this is the first time I have blogged and I have to say I am bit nervous. I plan on using this medium to post information on Tan-je-reen Design but also as a way to express the thoughts that go behind the designs that I create.

Sometimes I feel like the concept or my thoughts are not always conveyed, each piece I create is special and unique to me and has its own "personality". I hope that I can use this medium to explain and let people understand why and how, these pieces came to light. I know that not everyone will be interested in understanding that, and that is OK. As much as this blog is for others to read about my work, it also for me.

I have found a very happy balance in my life, and this has just come recently. My work is becoming more a part of me and a labor of love, my son amazes me each & everyday and I have made an effort to surround myself with friends and family that I love and make me genuinely happy. Life, unfortunately, is short. You get a small window to make what you do count and I want to make sure at the end of my journey I can honestly say that I tried my hardest to do that.

I feel good about this blogging thing! Now that I have broken the ice...I am going to jump right in! My next post shouldn't be to far away....
