How to start a blog about living in Las Cruces, New Mexico. That is the question. Well, to begin with, there’s the why. Easy. I love it here. It’s why I moved back, almost six months ago, after being away for 25 years. I’m originally from New Mexico. Born in Ruidoso, raised in Tularosa, worked in Alamogordo and went to college at NMSU. Even though I left, years ago to explore other areas and pursue my career, I always knew I would be back. Las Cruces is just one of those places. For me, anyway.
And, so, here I am. Reacquainting myself with a state and state-of-mind I love, while also discovering places I never knew existed. Being a small town, there’s bound to be a lot of grousing about the fact that there’s “nothing to do” here. I beg to differ. The Mesilla Valley and the areas surrounding it are a treasure trove of culture, history and breathtaking landscape. Being a freelance writer for the Las Cruces Sun News allows me to explore some of that. Being an amateur photographer, even more. I plan to incorporate both into this blog, as time and energy permit.
So, the question still remains. How to begin? I think this just about says it all…
