This is my first post, ever. I have been journaling my entire life, collaging bits and pieces of my life together in art journals. But after silently reading the blog's of so many inspirational.amazing.wonderful women I felt inspired to put myself out there. Out here, into this blogging world. It's funny, because it feels too late or like everything I want to say has been said, so why do it? Then I tell my inner critic to hush and I take baby steps to overcome the fear.I want so badly in this new year to attract my life's work, follow through with it...live it. I feel like I get to this point with anything I love to do and the fear sets in. Fear of failing or fear of success, which one it is, I am not quite sure. My best friend sent me a copy of The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron and we are about to embark on the journey together. The journey of getting unstuck in our creativity.
Lately I have been jumping around from job to job, thinking each one is going to be "IT". Discovering that nothing in any want-ad caters to my heart's desire to live the life I am intended to live. This is the beginning of me digging deep, opening up, and learning to trust myself.

Sounds like we walk a similar path my dear. I am also trying to unstick myself through the artist's way. Looking forward to reading more.

SEE ?? THIS is what is SO COOL about this blogging thing! It connects us, sure, someone else may have said something that you would say - this happens to me too, almost every day!!! I find these parallel lines with many wonderful women out there! it allows us to support each other and just shows you how we are all connected. i think it's great, and i love adding you to my list of darling gals i want to keep up with, be inspired by, and cheer on when they are having a hard time!

Happy little blogging story. It's good for you! :)
