Friday Feeling

F-R-I-D-A-Y… it is Friday!

Fridays are the best, right? The end of the work/school week, the start of the weekend. Fridays are for celebrating the accomplishments of the week and goal setting for the week ahead. Fridays are for reflecting on things that went well and thinking about the things we can do better next week. Fridays are my favorite!

Today is a Friday of firsts for me…my first blog post, the first day my website is live without a ‘Coming Soon’ page and my first time starting this new adventure without a perfectly laid out plan. I’m out of my comfort zone but I’m jumping in, ready to learn & grow along the way!

I was having a hard time picking the topic for my first post. I spent the afternoon writing a few different options. Just when I thought I had something I liked, I went to hit the publish button and with one click and a few seconds of a frozen screen.. it was all gone! The picture I worked so hard to crop, brighten and center just right, the links I added to suggest a few of my favorite leaders to follow, the witty joke I wrote and rewrote at least 5 times…GONE! So, here I am starting over again at 11:22 pm because I set a goal to start my blog today.

Instead of sharing a list of my favorite people to follow, I’m going to share my first little lesson… Don’t ever, ever give up on something just because you hit a few obstacles along the way! (And also, type your blog posts in a separate document before you post them to your site!)

I’m going to try to fail forward, hoping the lessons I learned today will make my next post a little faster and a little less bumpy too!
