Yes, I did use the title of WordPress’ generic welcome post, but it seemed to à propos that I couldn’t find anything better.

Welcome to my personal blog! It has been years in the making, from finding out what in the world a blog is, to reading a couple of blogs that my friends around the world have been holding, to helping start a blog for junior youth activities in Montreal (MUCH more on that later, I promise), to working on Red Dawn (more on that later, too) – basically it is as if I was meant to be blogging. After all, I do old school blogging a lot, which involved Post-its (lots of them) and the desks of my coworkers.

A friendly reminder to all my coworkers, past, present and future: not ALL those Post-its are from me. There are some wannabe old-school bloggers out there, and you know who you are.

This is going to be an experiment, so I beg you humbly to be patient with me. I used to have a website called Red Dawn, which hosted many of the short stories that I have written. After my previous Webmaster (to whom I owe an enormous debt – George, you rock), I was initially planning on restarting Red Dawn as a blog, adding short stories as the came along.

But I realized that it could be so much more than that. There are so many things that I have to share with the world, not only my writing. For example, my love of the Baha’i Faith, the various weird stories and forwards that I get from many of my lovely friends and family, the amazing Youtube videos I stumble upon, the insane anecdotes from work, the highlights of living in Montreal, hockey (if you aren’t a Habs fan, you might not like this part) – hence, many things that other people have shared with me and that I’d like to pass on to as many people as possible, in the hopes that their lives may be touched just like mine has.

So, without any further ado, here goes Sahar’s Blog!
