Blogging is a popularity contest

You are cordially invited to my pity party. Pardon me while I whine about life for just a couple minutes. 

I've been so stressed with this blog in making it impersonal and trying to get as many followers as I could. Which made me think less of myself and I tried to make myself more like all these other ladies who are so talented with their DIY projects, crafts and homemaking. But with all the posts they do and all the stuff they do, do they even have time to breathe??? I think this could honestly be one of Satan's traps. You're not good enough, you don't have enough followers, you need to be like these women. NO I DO NOT I say. I need to be me. I need to say what's on my mind and what things I think are funny in my life, inspiring and just life in general. I need to simplify and figure out what I love and what makes me unique.

With that said, I need to return to my confident self. The one who goes out and does things, who isn't afraid of a crowd and isn't afraid to stick up for what's right.

I've been saying alot of, "I can't." or "This looks stupid." In my photography, my job and my husband says zumba. :) I do it and say, "I can't do this!" He says, "You've done latin dancing before. Where's your confidence." And then he listed all these things off. And he's right. I've been pushed into a corner and now I'm coming out!

    "Face your doubts. Master your fears. Cast not away therefore your confidence. Stay the course and see the beauty of life unfold for you." -Elder Holland

I'm simplifying, remembering who I am, and believing in myself.

So do you feel stuck? Do you feel pushed around and not good enough? Stand up for yourself and know you are so amazing and have so much in store for you. You are YOU! BE YOU!

Once again, my dearest Dr. Seuss says, "TODAY YOU ARE YOU. IT IS TRUER THAN TRUE. THERE IS NO ONE ALIVE, WHO IS YOUER THAN YOU."

Peace and blessins'
