I don’t know about you…but, doing something new is more than a little bit scary. I don’t know if you are like this or not…but sometimes, I stop myself from doing things just because I get a little bit intimidated or fearful. I also had a slight case of a fear of failure…and even worse…a fear of success! Yep, I am definately my own worse enemy at times. How many things in life do i miss out on, because the voice in my head has cautioned me to step lightly or turn around and go back to the same old status quo; just because it feels familiar and safe? How many times have I cheated myself out of something wonderful and positive?
Geez, I just bet I can’t count that high, LOL. I think about this blog in particular…when I was moved in my soul to start disciplining myself and write on a regular basis; I knew it was something that I needed to do. Yet, can you believe I almost talked myself out of it?
If I had allowed myself to continue to doubt…then, I would not have had the pleasure of helping supply information to so many people about triple negative breast cancer and have had the impact on lives that had not heard about the disease. There were people who contacted me on that subject who were going through scary times and needed support. There were other readers who had experience with TNBC and were able to be a support to others, through my blog. Then, a subject i hold near and dear to my heart which is fetal alcohol spectrum disorders has had an impact on lives because of the information in that post. I consider it an honor to have the priviledge to possibly steer someone away from picking up an alcoholic beverage while pregnant; and maybe, preventing someone’s child from having a lifetime of disabilities that could have been avoided. That is the power of positive impact.
That very first post was so very intimidating that I sat and worked on it for hours…hours I tell you! 🙂 Finally, i confessed that it was intimidating and just jumped in with both feet and did it. Scary, yes…am I glad that I took the chance and have since been blessed by the experience…YES!
Tonight, I did something else that I wasn’t sure I could do. I got on a live tele-seminar and spoke with businessman Michael Penland. He had more than 100 people on that call, listening to his guests speak. You can hear a replay of that call here: http://instantteleseminar.com/?eventid=3926631 The listeners on that call were hungry for information on how to build their businesses and their websites; so that their dreams can come true. Sometimes, it just takes a little encouragement for people to believe in themselves.
Michael is a special person who goes out of his way to help others succeed in their own businesses. He helped my husband get started in marketing over a year and a half ago. He helped to build my husband’s confidence and opened new doors for him. Now my husband is a respected marketer who has helped to encourage and mentor so very many others in ways that have changed their lives for the better. It is like a chain reaction when people set out to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

Well, today was the day…it was the first year anniversary of the starting of this blog. What started out as a way to build confidence in myself and my writing skills turned into a real relationship with myself and the news around me. It has been fun…it has been educational; and, it has been a way to document what goes on in the world around me; and, helps me understand how i interpet those issues.
So much has happened in the last year, that to remind myself, of the ups and downs…I just go back and read random blog posts. The postings remind me of current events that have happened, celebrity happenings, life changing events; and in general, all of the emotional ups and downs involved in daily living. At times, i think…did i write that…do i still feel the same way about that subject…is there more current information than I had at the time i wrote the post? Sometimes i update the posts with current information if it is important to the post. (more…)
