When I turned the big 5-0 last December, I had no idea what a crazy year I would have. Blogging plays an important part in keeping me sane!

Thinking , " I am a big girl now. I can do this. " Then my blog just sat there. Waiting for the perfect post. Waiting and waiting. Instead of posting, I was a blog stalker. Several of my friends had wonderful, perfect blogs. I wanted mine to be just like theirs. Well, perfect never comes if we don't jump in and try. As I started posting, my business began to bloom. My creative spirit was being released. New relationships were being born. I was inspired.
The above collage is the first image I posted. Once I took the leap, I was hooked!
When I Blog I like to share:
