about Blogging: A purpose obliterates that “wasting time on the computer” feeling
1 CommentIt also gets rid of that guilty feeling I get when I see how long it has been since my last post! Yes, I know that my blog has been super stagnant due to an apparent drastic decrease in the number of hours in a day and days in a week. Or the inability to clone myself. But my wish is to return to blogging because I love to network and share, especially if it can help someone, even if just a chuckle or a smile. The adrenaline rush I get personally get when someone else makes me smile can usually sustain me for a while (until I have to amuse myself somehow – which in my household isn’t too terribly difficult). But while I hope to uplift a reader (y’all come back now, y’hear?), my blog has always been a therapeutic journaling exercise for me. Therefore I will continue to focus on my life experiences, which 99.9% of them revolve around autism spectrum issues. However, due to my inability to conduct daily journaling and my wish to avoid 3000 word timelines to catch up 6 months of mayhem, I am going to be choosy with what to share. My preference will be a story that, overtime, has unfolded into a beautiful learning experience for me. But I won’t be able to resist the one-liners and the “moments I might have missed if my child didn’t have autism.” I will continue to regularly update facebook and twitter so feel free to follow me.
Since I have shifted my occupation from the sales side of business (still in business tho! yay!) to the coaching side of business, I have felt much more aligned with what I believe is my personal mission in life. Without going into detail, 4 years ago I finally figured what that was…my mission statement…to generate power. (There’s a REALLY cool story behind that too that one day I will publish.) I guess you can say it’s a fancy way of saying “empower.” (In that REALLY cool story there are specifics, like POWER is an acronym and that each letter stands for a core value of mine.) So while my sales business brings home the turkey bacon, being “powercoachjen” brings home the fulfillment and warm fuzzies. One day (when I get an illustrator and publisher) my joy will be my job and I’ll not ever have to work a day in my life! (Oh wait…I’ll still be a mother…lol)
