So it’s been a while, huh.
This past year has been a series of starts and stops for me, and this
blog reflects that. I had lots of good
plans and high hopes. But life is busy
and I got side-tracked. Unfortunately,
that means many things don’t get off the ground and are left in the planning
stages. Or at least, that's what I tell myself to justify why things are not going as planned. But I think my main issue is
fear.
Fear of not doing something perfectly. Sure, I would think about a project I wanted
to do and a post I wanted to write. I’d even
plan it out. But in addition to having a
full life, I am a classic over-thinker and perfectionist. And if I can’t do something right, right now,
I put it off until I can. And all to
often, I never end up setting aside the time to make it happen.

Fear of not fitting in.
There seems to be a common thread among many of the design blogs I read,
they have been at it for a while, yet still come across as very youthful. Am I coming too late to the party? Would my point of view be relevant? Would anybody care?

Fear of being judged.
There are so many good blogs out there.
I especially love the ones about design, lifestyle and family. But again, there are a lot of great ones out
there. Do I have anything different to
say? Do I have any fresh ideas?
These are some of the thoughts that hold me back. But this time it’s going to be
different. This time I am going to try
my best to not let fear hold me back.
This time I am going to be brave.
