Soapbox

" Soapbox is a raised platform on which one stands to make an impromptu speech, often about a political subject. The term originates from the days when speakers would elevate themselves by standing on a wooden crate originally used for shipment of soap or other dry goods from a manufacturer to a retail store.

The term is also used metaphorically to describe a person engaging in often flamboyant impromptu or unofficial public speaking, as in the phrases "He's on his soapbox", or "Get off your soapbox. A modern form of the soapbox is a blog: a website on which a user publishes his/her thoughts to whomever they are read by."   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soapbox

I have a few friends who tease me about my soap box messages I have and as I was talking to my husband I thought why not record them. I do not believe all that I get passionate about would be called a soap box, but it it fun. 
A goal I have as I live the year before I turn 30 is to blog once a week, my family blog is fun but I often do not have things to post every week so, this will help with the goal that I have.
