Happy Birthday to me! Last night before going to bed, I couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. Every year I worry that no one is going to wish my Happy Birthday on Facebook. Every year, that turns out to be unfounded but it always worries me. I asked Dave if that was a bad thing and he said yes. I guess he's right. I care way too much about what other people think.
That's the whole problem that I have with this whole new blog thing. I did post it today. You can read it at http://investinginliving.wordpress.com/. For my birthday, Dave bought be a domain name and the web hosting for the year. So within the next couple of days, you'll be able to find it at www.investinginliving.com. It's not up right now, but like I said, hopefully within the next couple of days. But, as I was saying, part of what is making me so nervous is that I care about what others are going to think of me. Why?
I also got the chance to discuss writing in general with Alli today. She gave me some really awesome advice and helped me changed my way of thinking. We talked about having works in progress and how you can revisit them and reevaluate what you've written at a later date. I seriously was under the misconception that she would wake up and just bust out amazing poems and prose. She's also going to let me borrow a book that has helped her the next time we see each other. I am so grateful for that conversation.
So yes, my post is out there and I made a post on Facebook for my friends to read it, if they want. I'm nervous, but as Alli says, you always have to be willing to learn and grow. I'm willing and this may be a great learning experience if nothing else.
