Taking the Leap

Talk about stepping outside a comfort zone!  I find myself smiling as I begin this adventure.  Here I am, the person who in my business world encourages thousands of people to take risks, step outside your comfort zone, try new things feeling uncomfortable simply because I don't have a clue what I'm doing!  Guess I'll figure it out and learn from others as I go!

I'm actually starting this at the urging of a very dear friend.  She seems to think that I have a unique perspective on things as a result of my life experiences and the way I view the world.  I guess there's something to that.  I don't personally think I'm all that different - sure I have purple hair, but your haircolor doesn't make you who you are.  It certainly makes a statement about you, but it isn't who you are. (I'll talk about the decision to go purple in another entry.) I simply find myself wanting to share thoughts and perspectives with the hope that maybe someone will read one and it will have meaning for them. I don't pretend to be brilliant or to have all the answers.  I would just love to make a difference in someone's life, even if I never know of that difference.

So, I'm going to give this blog thing a try!  I figure, I love to talk and I love to write, so why not combine the two?  I'll just talk to myself and write it as I do!  I won't disturb anyone but my pugs - Samson, Sweetie, Jewels, Sherman and Tug - and they really don't give a rip!  They'll just lift their heads, give me a dirty look for waking them, and go back to sleep!  That's the life I want!  Anyway ... thanks for reading.  I hope you enjoy what you see. I'm going to have some fun doing this, hope you'll stay tuned!
