Bloggers Block

Okay, now that I have a blog it seems to have killed all of the random thoughts I have been meaning to write about. Lord knows I have plenty of opinions. However, it seems I have Blogger's Block. Sheesh. Sitting in front of the laptop, fingers poised to transfer the ideas, and I got nothing. Do I write about personal stuff? Work stuff? Rants? I guess we'll take this blog thing one day at a time. I am sure I'll find my online voice soon enough. Peace.

Personal Branding

I have been wanting to start a blog for more than a year but my own laziness has prevailed until now. Finally I can take the post-it note reminding me to start a blog off my computer monitor! The final push came when I went to a conference and attended a session on Personal Branding. The speaker emphasized how important it is to own your online presence and real estate. (own your domain, start a blog). So, here is my blog. Now, to get my domain. Thank God I kept my unique last name when I got married. I am pretty sure I am the only one in the world with my name. Hopefully the value of online real estate won't tank like the value of my pile of bricks. Peace.
