Hmmm. I have some questions for myself. I guess I am wondering what I want to accomplish with my blog. Why am I really doing this, what makes me think this is a good idea, questions like that.
Let's see. I really wanted to network and find other lunch ladies who might be interested in sharing their stories with me for my book. However, when it really comes down to it, will other lunch ladies really "read a blog"? Is this the place where I will get stories? In all likelihood, "no" would be the answer. Most of the lunch ladies I know don't spend time reading blogs or looking for people to network with. So, I wonder why I am writing a blog, and why am I wanting to write a book. What makes me want to do something others don't want or need to do? As of right now, I don't know. And, I hate the old "I don't know" answer.
I am interested in something called "Life Coaching". Life coaches help a "healthy individual get to the next level in their life". Life coaches ask questions to help YOU get to the answers you are looking for. So I guess what I need to do is ask myself some questions. I am going to think about that and figure that out.
I know one thing. If I want lunch lady stories, I have to go where the lunch ladies are. There are conventions and dinner meetings that I plan to attend. But I am one of those people who want what I want now. I want stories NOW. I want to get my book going NOW. Hmmm, if I was life coaching somebody and they said this to me, I would ask them "what's the hurry? Can you enjoy the ride? Enjoy being where you are in the developmental stage of the book. Books don't happen overnight! " Why do I have the need to have it NOW. I wonder what would happen if..... I just enjoy now, planning.. gathering....meeting new people.. spreading the word. Well, sounds like a plan. I feel better.
As far as my blog goes, I am going to continue. Because I feel better after I write it. I feel better when I get to say what I want to say and "post it". Even if nobody views it and I don't get a single story from it, it makes me feel better. Like I am doing something for the "cause". Like I am doing something for ME. And ultimately, that is what it is all about. Bringing myself to the next level in my life.
Ahhhhh......All is well.
