Navigating through the 30's
Today is the first day of blogging for me, i feel the fear but am gonna do it anyway. Lately i seemed to have reached a crossroads where at 32 i need to find a different direction. And i must push myself out of the comfort zone i was inhabiting as it is no longer so. I read in some blog that blogging is a road of self discovery so i've decided to buy a ticket and go along for the ride.... now must make dinner for my darling children and dash off to work

Feeling the fear but doing it anyway!! <P>Our greatest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our greatest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure ~ Marianne williamson</P><br>
<P><br><br>I love this quote, Nelson Mandela used it in one of his speeches. I only recently realised the true meaning of it. Lately i have being trying to discover what i really want to do now that i have grown up, some may dispute that fact, however i feel i've turned some kind of corner. Like i've just woken up and arrived at this moment! Anyway, with all the soul searching, and there has been quiet a bit, i realised that i would love to begin to write. Now, the notion has always been there but like the volcano in Iceland it lay dormant for many years of carefree adolescence and mental twenties, hit 30 and similar to said volcano, eruption begun again recently. To ease the brain i decided to give the notion a go.<br>Initially i began by daydreaming, telling myself that i'll probably be crap anyway then i started wondering what it would be like if i was really successful. What would my acceptance speech for the man booker prize sound like, would i be able to get a babysitter for all the book signings? And how would my interview with Ryan Tubridy go? Will need to do some serious shopping for these events!! I actually became more afraid of succeeding than if nobody was interested in my writing at all!! </P>
