I'm a
If you haven't noticed yet, I have a quite the list of creative passions - photography, design, sewing, quilting and baking to name a few. (My mom was a home economics teacher, I was predestined to be this way!)
And no, I don't have my own business, but I love to share my work with others and lend a helping hand when I can. I stay pretty busy with my real job, in fact, and I'm blessed that I get to be creative there, too. (Although I feel I'm required to say this blog reflects my own interests, expressions and views, not those of my employer or clients. I really try not to talk about work or clients, in fact.)
So, why am I blogging?
A lot of people have told me that "journaling" is incredibly therapeutic, and a powerful way to get your thoughts straight. So, I many years ago I went to Papyrus, bought a really cute leather-bound notebook, and, well, then I worried about what to write about. Once I had an idea of what to write about, I worried that the zig and zag of the CTA bus would mess up my already not-so-perfect handwriting, or that writing in bed might get ink on my white duvet cover, or simply that I would mess it up. So, the journal went on the shelf. It's still there. Empty.
This is plan "B." I'm expected to be a "social marketing maven" in my professional capacity anyways, so it only makes sense that, if I'm going to put my thoughts down, I do them in a way that I can share with others, and hopefully learn from them as they learn from me. I will consider this a success if I inspire just one other person, fill just one distant friend or relative in on my life, or simply just make someone smile through the Internet.
