The Reason

Lately I've had numerous things I've been cogitating about, and nowhere to share them. Hence this blog. It is mostly a motivation for me to take those random thoughts and ideas and expand my fleeting moments of intellectualism into actual times of mental stimulation. That makes me sound stuffy and smart... really, this is just so I have a place to express the things inside of me that don't at this time have an outlet, and a way to encourage myself to develop my talents and not stagnate. I really don't know what all will end up here, and that is the fun part- I've set no limits, only the goal to write something once a week. So, here is to thoughts, ideas, and the many ways to express them with words.

* As to the title of this blog. I was trying to play on words, and "created" the word "melifluous" meant to be a combination of Melissa and superfluous. Little did I know (but Seth did) that there is an actual word "mellifluous", the definition of which means "flowing with sweetness or honey", or "smooth and sweet". I guess time will tell which definition is more fitting...

edited Jan. 2012 Obviously once a week didn't happen. When I first started the blog I wasn't sure I wanted to "go public" with it. However, since then I have written a couple of things I think others might benefit from, and I've had a desire to do a few "food" posts (inspired by all the fun things I've found on pintrest), so I am going public. The once a week goal is out the window, but maybe I can realistically try to add something once a month :)
