I can tell you a bunch of things about myself. Or I can just write about them and you decide for yourself.
I’m big on personal choices. Making our own decisions. Navigating our own path. But, I will tell you a little something about me…just so you have an idea who this self-confessed semi-obsessive compulsive person is…
I’m a lot of things. I hate being labeled as just one thing. I believe everyone is a lot of different people at any given point in time.
I’m a woman. Strong, independent, confident. Soft, vulnerable, open.
I’m a mother, and I’m good at it…so far. I take one look at my son and I wonder, how in the world did I get so lucky to be given such a gift to take care of?
I’m a professional – meaning I work for a living. I dare not reveal what I do – that’s too personal
… I love what I do. But it’s also irrelevant to this blog.
I’m a friend, and I enjoy meeting new people. I look forward to spending time in airports and long flights – its the perfect place to make new friends.
I’m a wandering soul (literally and figuratively speaking). I’m always on the lookout for something new – new experiences, new people, new places…traveling feeds my soul.
I’m an artist. I appreciate beauty in the simple everyday things and I can’t imagine my life without some form of art in it. Mine or someone else’s.
I’m a lover. I love life despite having been knocked down on my ass a couple of times. There’s nothing quite like getting back up.
I’m hopeful and realistic.
And while it feels both scary and liberating, I’m whoever and whatever, I want and choose to be.
Did I happen to mention I’m single and happy?

I think what you typed was actually very logical. But, what about this? suppose you added a little information? I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog, however what if you added something that makes people want more? I mean About Obsessions… is kinda vanilla. You ought to look at Yahoo’s front page and note how they create post titles to get people to click. You might add a video or a related picture or two to grab people excited about what you’ve written. In my opinion, it could make your posts a little livelier.
May 16th, 2012 at 5:56 pm
Thanks for the input
it’s already under consideration.
May 16th, 2012 at 1:00 pm
