Taking Risks
I have to admit that when I started my blog, I felt pretty silly. I put myself out there for everyone to see, copy, criticize, and judge (good and bad).
When I started this thing back in October, I had no idea where it would go. Who would even read it? Why would anyone care about what I was doing or what I was making or what I had to say? And ironically, I really hate bringing attention to myself, so why would I blog!?
But I have found blogging to be quite inspirational, liberating, and FUN! It’s an outlet to get out all the things that swirl around in my head.
And now it’s evolved into this thing where I want to inspire others. We all need inspiration in our lives, and if I can offer any small bit of it to someone (including myself), then this is the best risk ever!
So despite some of the downsides of blogging (like copying, the green eyed monster, and people who take the time to give my stuff bad ratings…), all the amazing women I have connected with, all of the AMAZING comments, and conversations that I have had with women I’ve met, this risk is one worth taking. By a long shot.
For me this risk, has been one of my greatest adventures. I feel a little more alive because of it. I feel more inspired. I feel happier. I feel more confident to take more risks.
keepin’ it real today. take a risk, don’t be afraid to put yourself out there.
yes! everyone who starts a blog knows what a risk it is. but once you start you fall in love with it.

Don’t hate the players…hate the game. LOL… Such is all of life, right? If a comment bugs you, write about it.
I love your blog, and glad you took the risk…
so agree, blogging is a risk in itself! Everytime I hit “publish” i get that little pang in my chest….did i do everything right? what if someone READS this? lol. putting yourself out there is risky, but so far its fun, and a great creative outlet.
Thanks for the post.
