Last Friday, I had a discussion via Twitter, with PrincessJenn.  It all started when someone was looking for design help.  I piped up and said that PrincessJenn was “teh awesome”.  We exchanged just a few quick pleasantries, but the senitment stayed with me all day.  I mentioned that when I became a “real blogger” I would have her redesign this place.  She said this, and it started me thinking. Why wait?  I’d love to be a real blogger, honestly.  But, when I look in the mirror, I don’t see a blogger.

I see myself as the middle management executive in a huge company…working painstakingly for “the man”. 

I see myself as a pretty awesome Mom to two very awesome children. 

I think I make a decent girlfriend, as long as you can handle the occasional undefined bad mood…and the drama that I don’t FEEL like I bring on myself. ;-)

I am a sister and a daughter to two AMAZING women…and am lucky to be considered a BFF by two fabulous friends.

But I feel like an imposter in the blogging world.  I love this place and this one too. I love to write.  I   I want to be able to tell a story as beautifully as Maggie,  take amazing, beautiful one of a kind photos that tell real stories like Casey, stir emotion like Heather, make people laugh like Shauna or prove a point like Jenn.  I don’t…yet.  I’ve decided that writing/blogging is like anything else in life.  You have to put in the time and you have to practice.  Maybe someday, when I grow up, I’ll be able to tell a story like all of the amazing women I’ve found on the internet.  But for now, I’m going to practice. I’m going to use ALL of your voices as inspiration to do something that I love, simply because I love it.   And mark my words someday, Princess Jenn will make this site…AMAZING.

Inspired to write,

Angi
