Maybe I felt overwhelmed by the process.  Even though I have literally written almost every day of my life since middle school, writing on such a personal level and without much guidance seemed daunting to me. 

I am an Occupational Therapist and for the past 25 years, I have primarily worked for insurance companies and the government…well, not directly, but if I wanted my employer to get paid, insurance companies and the government are who I had to answer to. 

The funny thing is, I became good at writing, creating material they liked and wanted, maybe that was the problem, it wasn’t really ME writing, it was me creating something someone else required of me. 

I was passionate about getting it right and doing a good job.  

I mean seriously, I wanted my employer to do well and make money off the work I did…that meant I got to keep my job and occasionally got an ‘adda girl, great job!’

I digress, back to my blog.  I have been training and taking notes on how to blog, how to write and what to write. 

I am not 100% certain that I have decided on a single topic, there is so much to talk about and now I am taxed by putting it in an order that makes sense. 

I also, seriously want to have conversations with you, my readers, my clients, family members, colleagues, co-workers, you are my community. 

Maybe this has been part of my procrastination as well, my ability to keep up with comments and questions, not to mention find people who are interested in what I have to say…I don’t necessarily handle rejection well, lol, WHO DOES!

Stay with me, let’s learn more about each other and why this is so important to me and why it should be important to you!  I will share resources, strategies, ideas, stories and all my heart.  I look forward to sharing with you!
