Vision Statement

purpose of this blog:

• To help me stay accountable
• To remind myself of what works & what doesn't
• To keep track of highs and lows
• To record progress & changes
• To post random things that I find and like

this is my virtual "diary."

• I write in first person
• Most posts = random streams of consciousness
• Other posts = random Pinterest, YouTube, and blogging finds
• A handful of posts = random lists (I love lists!)
• Punctuation & spelling don't matter ...ain't nobody got time for that!
• I talk to myself; When I say "you," I really mean "I" (i.e. "you did it!" = "I did it!")

this blog is NOT:

• About comments, page views, or sponsors
• Written for an audience
• Perfect... nor do I want it to be

although this is my "diary," I will NOT:

• Make it ugly... I'm super OCD about making sure that paper journals look pretty, an electronic one is no exception to the rule
• Write like an 8-year-old ...or in IM-speak (I H8 wh3n ppl type lyk di$)
• Share my deepest darkest secrets
• Draw a bazillion tiny hearts around my crush's name
• ...Or practice my "Mrs. Brad Pitt" signature

and although this is a blog, I will NOT:

• Ask for advice, comments, concerns, and/or any other form of input
• ... same goes for offering advice, comments, and/or any other form of input
• Be super boring ...at least not intentionally
• Be super funny ...I try, I fail, shit gets awkward real fast

This is something that I needed to put in writing.  I don't want to lose sight of why I started this blog.  A couple of times, I've caught myself writing as if I were talking to viewers.  I need to shake that mentality.  This is MY place for MY thoughts.  No one else knows about this blog, and for now, it is going to stay that way.
