It’s interesting how each person can have their own blog.

A web log: A place where a person can post their thoughts and wonder if anyone is actually reading it?

When I first started writing I didn’t quite understand that others could read what I had written. It’s almost like looking through someone’s window at night. The person in the house can’t see out into the darkness, but the person outside can see into the light.

That’s what blogs are to me. I’m in the house and my readers are standing outside watching my life unfold. Almost like a silent movie. Maybe I should start adding music to my blog, so depending on my mood… the scene will be set.

I also like writing because I’ve always worked from home. I was a hog farmer (for 20 years) and you try talking to a pig. They’ll squeal on you every time, but has for a conversation… Never happens.

I’ve decided to blog my business back to life. I need to pep talk myself into the how-to-get-to-the-next-level-of-where-Owie-needs-to-be!

In the past few weeks many people have shared their opinion with how I got to today. I’ve paid for the services of many, and I’m finding that what I paid for wasn’t as accurate as the amount they requested that I write on the check.

I’m learning the value of finding experts. My new motto is: Listen and verify!

And, since I like to share knowledge with others, did you know that if you log onto freecreditreport.com that their free credit report is not free. Nope. It’s not. Might look like it is, but it wasn’t. There’s a secret button that you press (or at least I pressed it) that said, TRY. I tried, but it still charged! Again… another lesson that nothing in life is for free!

Today I’m finishing up my 2009 financials, working on a presentation for an upcoming fundraising event and meeting with a wonderful woman from Cedars Hospital. Today is the beginning of the beginning. I’ve learned that in life nothing ever ends. The story just changes. I love that about life. Always and forever changing. It’s never too late to try something different!

And… is today the day you want to donate an OwieBowWowie for a child at CHLA? If so, please go to www.owiebowwowie.net.

Onward by faith…
