I Don't Measure Up!

I'm feeling a little manic at the moment. I spent a lot of time re-vamping my blog. I feel all empowered and fresh, and yes, a little beautiful. And, I have all of these ideas of what I want to say here. Unfortunately, I'm getting them all from other fabulous ladies in the blog world. It goes like this:

1. I read a fabulous, funny, insightful post.
2. I comment on said post, always being genuinely complimentary, then sharing how I concur...or have learned...or will try to do better.
3. Which leads to, "hmmmmm, maybe I should write that revelation on my blog?"
4. Which leads to guilt over the stealing of ideas...so much so, that I even went so far as to look it up. Apparently you can "steal words" but you can't "steal ideas."

Which doesn't do much for my confidence in my creativity. So, in the end, I just.do.nothing. It's all so exhausting, really. I think I'm trying to come up with something relevant to add out there. And, all I get is crickets...(literally, it's quiet and the crickets from my kids' gecko feeder are driving me nuts!)

I should be content in the fact that others have my struggles. Revel that others share my enthusiasms. And, yes, even sometimes, I'll find another that has a little bit of my crazy. But, we all want to be a little special, right?

I think I'm freaking out a little because I've had a few commenters lately that checked me out after my commenting on their blogs. What if they read my post say, "hey! That was MY idea!" Or even worse, what if they think they could have said it better? Or funnier? I don't think I could handle the unknown rejection I've built up in my mind. So, again, I.do.nothing. I've quit before I've begun.

Maybe I'll just write and write, and don't care if they see it. And, if they do, imitation is the best form of flattery, right? Or maybe I'll just write about writing...yeah...that's original.

New home for My Moments…

Hey all…I have a new look and a new address for my blog. I have spent some time evaluating changes and growth, and felt like making some changes here, too. I have updated photos and profiles, and plan to keep this an uplifting place to visit and share my moments (95% of the time…with, maybe, just a weeeee 5% spent on venting now and then…teehee).
I have some more “Noble Woman” challenge posts in the works, and still lots to post from our recent visits with family and friends. Stay tuned, and be sure to bookmark the new home: www.lifemomentsandmusings.blogspot.com . See you there! (or here…or whatever!) And, let me know what you think!

New email subscription box...

I'm working on my new look. It's been ages since I updated our profiles or pics...so that is next.

This week, I found Blogger added an email subscription feature that I had previously gotten from a different service. In an effort to keep it streamlined, I am now using the new one. If you have subscribed to email updates of my posts in the past, I don't know if they will continue. If you do seem to be missing my posts, just submit your email in the box under my profile information and you'll be all set!

Time's a changin'

Just a heads up to all of my followers...yes, both of you.

I've had this blog background and name for over 2 years now. It's been two years of growth and self-discovery, and I have updated my life. So, it's time to update the blog accordingly. Look for a fresh new look at a fresh new address.

Coming soon!
