I know for a fact that two people that read this blog: my husband and my best friend. I know because of their encouraging email responses to Blogger's email of the post. One time I actually received an internet High Five from my friend. (There it is.==>) These are two people that will probably read anything that I write, even if it's useless and pure garbage. That's one of the great things about family and great friends.However, it's the rest of my potential audience that makes me question what to
Leave it to the internet to lead me down that sometimes dark, this time brilliant search where I rediscovered this...
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.
Steve Jobs
Just what I needed.
While I don't think I'm living someone else's life, I do find that I care an awful lot about what others may think about me and my efforts. Which leaves me shy and hesitant to put myself and my writing out there for all to see, questioning what to share in this space.
No more questioning. What I say or write may not be profound, elegant, or Earth shaking, but it touched me in some way. It might be a new-to-me service or a cool tool, something that bothered me or made me smile, a story that I wanted to read or something that my Muse insisted I put down in words.
I'll share these things just in case you, my audience, might find them entertaining, useful, or something you can relate to. Maybe it will bring
you a smile.
Could be that you'll have something to share back, and I guarantee that it will be another Made-Me-Smile moment.
So, here's to putting myself out there. Inelegance, smiles and all.
