My good friend Katie told me the other day that she had started a blog and did I have one? Well, no I didn't but I'd been thinking of starting one for so long. I remember that my friend Mark sent me a link to his blog a couple of years ago and I had no idea what to think of it. It was a compilation of thoughts and restaurant/hangout recommendations (he's mid 20's now and I'm nearly twice that) so those were lost on me. I remember thinking "what is this?" and moving right along. But last year I realized that Blogging was going to be a trend and having missed so many of those (I bought my first Amazon.com at $144/share for goodness sake), I decided to attend a class at the local Discover U and I immediately got hooked .
I thought of a dozen blogs I could start personally - after all, I had a lot of experience and might be able to help others. Instead, I took the idea to the others in my management team at RealTime Productions and started our blog there. I've thought hundreds of times that I would start my own blog, but so many excuses cropped up ... time, kids, opportunities and doubt kept creeping in. And then there's the all important "what voice can I put to this blog of mine". Surely people aren't all that interested in hearing from and about me. Boring. But after reading Katie's blog (which is fantastic and something I can only aspire to), I realized that I'm not on this journey for others. It's mine. I need to start now. I want to live my best life (thanks Oprah for coining the term). So here I start, for me. I hope you will share your journey, too. If not, this might just end up being good cheap therapy.
The search is on!

Love it and I'm so proud of you. Keep it up and I will be reading! We need to grab some drinks and apps and chat with the girls. That surely inspires. o, k
Last Thursday I had the privledge to hear Dr. Maya Angelou speak, she was the closing keynote speaker for iSpa. She said that in order to uphold all values, the most important is Courage - nothing works without courage. You have definitely shown a great deal of courage to put yourself out there and you will be rewarded. I look forward to checking back to your blog to see what's new!
