Over the weekend I had a “light bulb” moment; a moment so strong and bright I was tempted to write or tweet Oprah and tell her about it. It’s the kind of thing that we search most of our lives trying to find – the right place to fit in and feel wanted, a chance to be ourselves in a space that allows us to follow our passion and chase a dream.
You may remember from my Project Mom Casting video that one of my childhood dreams was to become a Radio City Rockette. I was a dancer since the age of 3 and as a little girl it was all I ever really wanted to be.
Well, that and a writer.
I dreamt about publishing a book of my very own (one fine day) and seeing my name featured in a popular magazine. I guess I somehow always imagined my name in print.
{Insert light bulb moment}
I guess I always imagined my name in print.
Now I may not be the most gifted or technical writer out there but what I am sure of is that I have found my voice – and this voice has resonated with so many women and mothers.
THIS is what I was destined to do.
THIS is my call to action.
THIS has been a dream of mine and I am right now fulfilling it through this blog.
I *do* have my name in print and it can be seen at the very top of this post, “by Theta Mom.” And although I may not have 100,000 subscribers what I do have is an amazing, dedicated readership who actually care about what I have to say, who continue to come back again and again; women who continue to inspire me and make me want to do this every single day.
THAT is empowering.
THAT is why I blog.
And THAT is why I will continue to support this Mission.
My name *is* in print – and I can’t wait to see where this journey takes me next.
I still remember the post where you wrote that each person who writes a blog is an author. I have always wanted to see my name in print and although I blog under web name, my words and pictures are on my blog to show my creativity.
Thanks for this post.
thanks so much for this post. such a great reminder to find our voices and stick with them. if not, one of the best parts about blogging (the opportunity to connect with people in an authenitc way) is lost. i don’t have tons of followers but i do think i am being me. this post helps me to be proud of this fact.
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this matter to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
