I want to be a writer. I want to design jewelry and decorate homes. I decided this back in January of 2009 when my world as I knew it was suddenly compromised. I decided back then that I needed a way to showcase what I can do, what is in my heart. So I set out on a journey, a journey to change my life.
I didn't know what it would entail. And I was ok with that. I wanted to shake up my world and learn new things. And I did. I took classes, I started a blog, I joined a networking group of my peers and I sought out professionals to help me along the way...
Six months ago I had an idea for a new blog, and now, it's finally finished.
My first blog took me as far as it could, it gave me a place to start, it was an outlet for practice and it held me accountable. I'm hoping this new blog will take me to the next step--getting published, a new job, a patent on my designs perhaps. The blog design is beautiful, the navigation is pretty cool and I'm really excited about the possibilities. I loved my blog designer. She was a very helpful gal who really got the essence of who I am and what I wanted to portray. Check out her blog and see what she can do.
There are still a few things I would like to tweak of course. But I need to seek some tech help for that. So there will be future updates, additional programming, a Featured Content Gallery, email and followers options and more linking and navigation to come, but I figure for now I've got a pretty good start.
I'm really excited to launch and get things going.
Since I have many facets to my personality I think my blog should have just as many facets. And it does, it's all encompassing. I have to admit, it's probably more geared to gals then to guys for some things, but This is LIFE after all, we all have challenges and hopes and aspirations and I think each of you as individuals in this crazy human race will relate to it on one level or another.
Fate has a funny way of coming to fruition. Maybe I was always supposed to be a writer and a designer and I just took a detour for the first part of my career. Maybe I just needed to live life for a while and experience people, face struggles, and learn about design and marketing to get me to the next step...
This is a big step in my journey and I'm hoping you will visit often, leave comments and join me along the way.
