So I've been a little disappointed in myself about this website. Here it is a new year, and I didn't even acknowledge it! Had such neat ideas and didn't do any of them. Had a neat idea for Martin Luther King Day and didn't do it either!
So what's the big deal? Well, for a few months now, I've felt the same thing, and I've come to the conclusion that while I like what we have been doing on the website, I'd like it also to include a little more real element to it. I mean, we switched to a blog style format simply because it was more user friendly for the more casual computer user (meaning me) and still let us have a lot of creative room (even if we've haven't learned to use it yet). And now, I'm seeing that a blog style is really more of what was inside me in the beginning, a means for expression.
I've really been keeping too much inside of me, waiting for it to come out in this really professional way, instead of just letting it come out in this really real way as it is.
So–this is it! Lord, let me be more real every day. With You, with myself and with everyone else. First step of recovery — coming out of denial and getting real! Quit dressing it all up when you speak it out loud or write it, just say it and let it go!
My dreams for this website for this year? Really scary! Do what I've been feeling a pull to do all last year and that is just have more blog style articles on here as well as the other style of articles. In other words — get more real and in the moment! AAAAhhhh! That means letting more of myself show through!
In the words of one of my heros — "I yam what I yam!"
