I know it takes 21 days to establish a new “habit,” but I’m going to give myself a few extra. I find that I typically have a hard time getting out of my ORDINARY routine, into something new, so I’m going to be kind.
But in truth, I really need to get going on this. Blogging is fun. I really enjoy it! I just don’t do it religiously. And, in truth, I should – I have an utterly amazing life! But I get busy, and then I figure it’s late, no one will care, and then I move on to something else, and then I just never get around to it. So today, that stops. I’m giving myself 30 days.
What’s my plan, you may ask? Well, here’s the thing. I’m keeping this blog, and morphing it a little. I’m focused on sharing what I would call a very rich life. Let’s be super clear.
My target audience is anyone who wants to share all the wonderful things that go into having a rich life – whatever that might entail. To me, it’s a lot of things: family, travel, community, work, cooking, pets, exercise, and hobbies. So that’s what you’ll find here.
I’m 52 years old. But I still feel like I’m in my 20s. My husband says I have the sense of humor of a 12-year-old boy. My 13-year-old son frequently finds me immature. I like to cut loose and have fun. And I frequently buckle down and get it done. So expect snarky humor, with a dash of irreverence.
I was divorced and raised my first two sons alone for 15 years. I never thought I would marry again. I met my current husband and had an epiphany at the age of 45. It can happen. It DOES happen. And I consider us still to be newlyweds! I’m a fan of Happy Endings. I love to root for the Underdog. I believe miracles happen everyday. I will share all of that with you.
I live in Seattle – I know it’s not Manhattan (although I’ve lived there, too) – but seriously, is there anyplace ANYONE would rather be?
I’ve been in marketing my whole adult life, although now I’m in Sales (and it just feels like the next iteration of marketing – relationships, that is!), so I hope you’ll find I’m an effective and (amusing) communicator!
I have two cats (I feel like we keep repeating cats – 1 is a MaineCoon (girl), the other is a tuxedo cat (boy)) – they are frequently problems. But they make me feel needed, in a life where everyone is very self-sufficient, and we all need to feel needed.
I love to travel and do so frequently. And I am a knitter – if I am not creating SOMEthing, I feel very unfulfilled. So, usually, it’s knitting but sometimes it’s home improvement, community service, or event planning. I will share my newest creations with you, and I hope you will share with me, too!
So… there it is in a nutshell. Today, I’m sitting at Atlas Workbase, working remotely, while thinking about the future. Where are YOU? And what are you thinking about today?
