Entering the Blogging Age

Hello Blogging World!

Today I am entering the “Blogging Age.”  This is my very first official blogging message and my very first ever official blog.  (Is there a special gift or celebratory action that occurs at this juncture in a person’s life, beyond just “the act” itself?)

I have to admit that it feels a little intimidating.  I’ve written feature articles for newspapers and magazines, but there is definitely something different about posting on my own blog. It’s all mine and it’s also all yours to comment on and ponder.  It feels much less anonymous than being a freelance journalist.

I’ll be posting some articles I have posted elsewhere, that really are worth pondering, and are unrelated to my work as a writing coach, editor and freelance writer. I will also be posting articles directly related to writing and editing.

Like many people who start blogs, my hope is that many of my readers will also peruse my websites and perhaps have a reason to utilize my services, join my internet-based business, or tell their friends to do the same. And why is that? Oh sure, we all want to make money and I’m no different in that regard.

However, I’ve made money doing all sorts of things and found out that the money wasn’t nearly as important to me as the impact I was having on people through my work. My passion is to empower people to move forward in their lives. I have changed my career many times over the years because I was not able to fully empower people through the work I was doing, regardless of whether I was making thousands of dollars in a very short period of time or barely making ends meet, or anything in between. In the end, it just wasn’t about the money.

It has taken me a long time to get to the place I’m at now — where my passion and my prose meet in the garden of creative empowerment.

In line with that never-ending life mission to empower others, my passion is to help people get their message out in a way that their audience takes action—whether I am writing marketing copy, editing books or coaching folks to get their books written.  I do truly love it all!

So, in the doing of it, in the process of empowering you in your business, your work, your mission, your passion, we all gain, and others gain too, because we are all working towards making the world a better place on a multitude of levels.

Let me know if I can support you in moving your mission forward, especially if it involves writing or editing.

Enjoy!
