I’ve been thinking of doing this for a while now.
Today’s the day.
Today’s the day I jump, no wait leap, into something that doesn’t come naturally for me. Writing. In fact, I’ve started, deleted and restarted this post about three times now.
So, who am I? I usually identify myself first as a mom of 2 adorable children. I’m married. I work full-time. I’ve been doing the same job for 10 years. Yep. 10 years.
Why blog now? See above. 10 years. I need a new challenge. Ten years are a long time! I have a gift for working with, understanding, listening and helping people. I want to expand on that gift and see where I can fit in this world of social media and blogging.
Recently, I finished two books – UnMarketing by Scott Stratten and Open Community by Maddie Grant and Lindy Dreyer. Have you ever read a book and knew that it was written for you? Both of these books gave me that last push of confidence and courage to start my own blog. I dream of being able to write as well as they do. To them, I say thanks.
I think as time goes on, I will become more focused in my writing. Until then, I hope you will join me on my journey of finding my voice. (Just be patient if that voice is all over the place for a while!)
Good night!!
