“38 and Growing”

http://38andgrowing.blogspot.com

I blog because it is a safe place for me to ask questions about my life — where I am, where I want to be, how do I get there. I love getting feedback from my bloggy friends who help me learn, offer advice, give me consolation, all around share in my joys and fears, tears and growth.

Write from your heart, find your voice, and then try to network. Just enjoy the process of writing for a while before worrying about followers. read other blogs and learn from them. Develop bloggy friends and mentors. Create your own community.

I am starting to discover my authentic self and I definitely appreciate my life far more. It’s a way to step back and look at my life. I have also developed friendships I could never have imagined — genuine and meaningful relationships that are deeper than some of my friendships in the real world.
