A few weeks ago, I was sitting in my cubical staring at my computer. My mind was numb. Phone call after phone call. Updating the data, checking the status. I was overcome with a feeling of unhappiness and boredom.
"Where is your brain?" I thought. "What has happened to you? What is so different now than before?"
Then it came to me. I do not have a creative outlet.
Let me back up here for a minute and fill you in.
I have always been a wildly creative person, always. I have always found an outlet through media such as music, arts and crafts, and theater. I never needed to search for a creative outlet for it was always there naturally. Even with all of my adventures through college, the Army and beyond, I had an outlet. However, in August 2011, I had been let go from a super creative job with youth and the community that provided that outlet for me. I had to find a new job! Aghhh!!! Along came a great corporate job with benefits that I thought was still going to provide me with some sort of creative thinking. Wrong! I sit in a cube all day with talking points and a metric to follow for calls. Not much room for anything.
This brings me back to where I was a few weeks ago, staring at my computer in my cube. How am I going to be creative? Hence, this blog was born.
I have been told for years that I am an idea person with no follow through. What a true statement? I could come up with ideas all day long but have no idea how to execute. A blog would be a great way to come up with ideas and express opinions without having to follow through. I would be able to talk about all those topics that I like to talk about, give my two cents and never look back. Yeah!!!!
So here you have it, my new blog about all kinds of topics that interest me.
