I can’t tell you how much thought I have invested into my little part of the internet here. I have been contemplating my very own blog for quite some time. I have watched, full of jealousy, as others have created their own cozy spot on the web. I desperately wanted to be a part of it, but I was scared.
Fear. It’s such a yucky thing to deal with. So, for a while, I let my fear control me. I didn’t go after what I wanted. I didn’t think I was good enough, or fun enough, or spunky enough. How silly is that! When did this idea that you have to be a certain type of person in order to run a blog come about? I don’t like it.
This month I have really been focusing on me. My growth, my focus, my fear. So after reading a very profound book, (I’ll share that with you later) this I decided to go for it. Being the social geek I am, I took surveys of my friends and family, and talked my poor boyfriend’s ear off about it.
Now, most people would do through research, map out a plan, and then start off slow. I, on the other hand, decided to jump right in. WordPress came up time and time again in my chats with friends and colleagues, so that’s what I chose. I began shaping and molding this beautiful thing and I’m already obsessed. How geeky is that?!
Here we are. I am taking the plunge, I am facing my fears, and I am chasing my dreams.
