Blogging Bootcamp

Hello All,

So as you can all see it has been a few days since my last post. I have to admit that I seem to have fallen into a bit of a rut on the blogging, and just basically life in general, fronts. Yes, I do know that I am infamous for my numerous personal pity parties and hope that I do not scare you all away with my ever standard inability to remain clearly focused. I will go ahead and attribute this to my being a dreamer. I can spend an entire day dreaming up possibilities of how I can develop my creative potential and the different paths it may take on leading me into my ideal "super fabulous" future. But, eventually you have to stop dreaming and ACT, and sadly that is where I struggle. I let my doubts get the best of me and I succumb to the feelings of being inexperienced and ultimately afraid to invest in my own future for fear of failure. And I can say it because I see it, HOW RIDICULOUS!, but what I can't seem to do is just move past this and...jump. Instead I settle to work a job that I don't have any passion for and which I let steal my energy and motivation to do anything else, shame on me. I possess all of the tools in which to build my own future, I am personable, artistic, creative minded, and I really am a go-getter (that is when I don't stand in my own way).

The truth is this rut really is self-imposed, I have been applying for numerous jobs and waiting to hear back on a job that will provide me the stability in which I can build my business while still maintaining a happy medium between work and play......what? Does that statement sound weird to anyone else? Looking for a new job to replace my current one and then to eventually replace with my own business, why so many stepping stones? I need to remind myself why I started this blog in the first place: to detail my struggles into self-employment and the growing of my OWN business!

In order to re-ignite my blogging flame I am going to propose a project for myself. I will be doing a photog project and taking a photo everyday for 30 days and then posting and blogging about why that particular image is a direct reflection of who I am as an artist. I think this will help me to 1.) whip my blog back into shape, and 2.) recognize myself as an artist and switch my focus from what if to making it happen! Thank you all for staying with me so far and I hope that you enjoy the photog project and maybe, just maybe, this post can serve to be a reminder that we are all human and life really is too short to not do what we enjoy, reach for your dreams and though the road will be rocky, hopefully the path will be so worth it.

Some well timed inspiration to end on a positive note:)
