Just Do It

When my alarm went off  at 6:00 this morning, I turned it off and rolled over. I didn’t feel like running. I’m on vacation damn it!

Except when I went back to sleep, I ended up dreaming about running.

When I sat down to write, all I could think about was the run I didn’t do. And now I’m writing about the run I didn’t do.

So, instead of being an hour out of my day, running has now been with me all day.

I will  run today.

And while it will feel like I’m slogging through pea soup because it will still be in the 80s and very humid this evening, running will get checked off my list.

This is what happens when you don’t do something you love. It doesn’t leave you. It just hangs out in your head all day like a pesky younger sibling swinging her legs on the chair in your room while waiting for you to give it some attention.

Just do it!

Who Are You?

Does your website content reflect who you are and what’s important to you?

Does your personality shine through?

When it comes to your business, it’s important that folks are  able to see who you are- not just the business you, but that thing that makes you special.

When I started this website, I had the words- that was the easy part. I just wasn’t sure about the look. After weeks of trying out different themes and styles- I thought I had settled on the right one. It worked, was nice, and really safe. The Critics that live in my home thought it was awesome.

The thing is, I didn’t have that same jazzed feeling  like I do when I look at  my current theme. It was totally professional and did the job. But it didn’t feel like me. This was confirmed when I had a convo with a friend and she asked why I had changed themes. I gave her the rundown and defended it with the “it’s a clean, professional look.”

Her response was simple: “But the other one was more you.”

Damn.

I couldn’t go to sleep until I had changed my theme.

Is your content really you? Is it technical, boring, or safe? It doesn’t have to be.

Let your freak flag fly. There are people out there who will totally get it.
