The Reason for the title…well there’s a few really, is because I’m just an average woman trying to communicate on issues that are important to me. I’m not a graduate of higher learning and I don’t want people’s comments to be tips on my format, context, spelling, or grammar.
Another reason is I’m not quite sure what I’m going to be talking about. I know I will share things from my life and I will share my views on… really anything if it lights my fire or I think people will be interested and want to comment on it. (I’m hoping to have an active blog (fingers crossed) and maybe a network on Ning to talk about issues, network and take action.)
I’ve been on this earth for a little over 40 years now and I believe I have a little something to say that some people may find interesting, insightful, and helpful. I got into blogging by way of my business finding ways to connect with people and build relationships all in the hopes of growing my business. But I have other ways to grow my business. Sure I’m going to include it in my blog BUT that’s not the purpose of it.
I want to build my blog around women and women’s issues. I have always been kind of free speaking with how I feel about things and how they are…maybe how they should be as far as girls and women are concerned. Well NOW I’m actually going to do something about it.
I’m going to help bring the issues of the day and issues for tomorrow to the forefront alongside other people and organizations. I hope to contribute what I can and when my kids have finally left the nest, in about 6 years, I should be in a good place to really get active. At that point I can live out of a suitcase or a backpack and go where help is needed.
I plan to get involved locally and give what I can now. As my business grows I will be able to contribute more and more.
I have wondered for quite some time how to get involved in the issues I am interested in and I am currently reading a book that has so many of them listed in the back of the book and it tells you how you can get involved now! I am in the process of typing all of them up in a text document and I will find a place to load them into my blog.
This is important…I’m not going to change my momentum from this!
The more I learn the more I find… the more I find the more I know I need to learn.
The name of the book is “Half The Sky” Turning Oppression Into Opportunity For Women Worldwide, by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn.
I will get a link to the book and my list up tomorrow… oh and the picture at the top is supposed to be my banner. I’ll figure out how to have it as my blog header
