Is it worth blogging about?

After 10 days of intense debating with myself about what to blog about next, I realized that I had just wasted those days thinking and wondering instead of creating more and sharing. 

And that, my friends, iz-No-good!

I easily convince myself that anything I create is just "no big deal" because it has already been seen thousands of times all over the webosphere. And, of course, I don't think it's worth blogging about... That's how I end up not blogging for 10 days! :(

Today I'm back and I decided that, from now on, I would blog about something, even if I think it's "no big deal"!
I'm even challenging myself to start posting on my blog every single day starting from today! And I hope my 3 beloved readers out there won't get fed up too soon...

So, for today's post, I thought I would show you one little thing I made this week-end. 

Yes, you probably have already seen it in every color and every size, but this one is mine and I'm super proud of it!

paper napkin flower (medium size)

 

It's the first paper napkin flower of that size that I actually succesfuly managed to not destroy by trying to "fix it".

Because that's what I do... 

I always see something that is quite not perfect, so I try to fix it. Then, the rest doesn't match anymore so I try to fix one more thing, and one more, and one more.... until there is nothing to fix anymore because I've completely lost it and the whole thing got destroyed (usually with some desperate yelling involved).

So, that's one little thing I made this week-end! Come back tomorrow to see more! :)

Do you ever wonder if the things you make are worth blogging about? Please share in the comments!

is red in your { heart } ?

Today is  National Wear Red Day  to support  the fight against heart disease in women.

I just thought it was the perfect day for me to play practice my skills in one of my latest addiction: creating moodboards on Olioboard. 

I have already spent quite some time on their website in the last couple of months looking for inspiration, but this is my very first moodboard 

very simple but I'm kinda proud ;)

One more little victory to my list! Yay!!!

Are you doing anything special today?

Is it gonna get easier?

Hi!

After the excitement of publishing my first Post 3 days ago, I got bummed...  

And I sulked... 

and it was not pretty!!!  

   

yes, I have been perfecting my sulking face for quite a number of years :)

See, somehow I thought the first Post on my blog would be the hardest one to publish and I really believed that, from there, everything will just flow...

Yeah, right! It's not quite like that.

For those of you who don't know me, let me introduce you to one of my favorite phrases: 

                          "I want it now".

I tend to expect immediate greatness for everything I start. 

Of course, it never works out like that... 

The result? A long list of unachieved goals, unfinished projects, unfulfilled dreams,etc...etc...

An example?

In my early 20's I decided that I wanted to play tennis. Lucky me, a friend of mine agreed to give me some lessons. I was so excited!!!

I immediately went to buy a brand new, shiny tennis racquet  and went for my 1st lesson. 

It lasted 20mn. 

Lot's of huffing, puffing, cursing and complaining...  
Never touched the shiny racquet again.

That's only 1 example and I've got so many similar stories that I could start Blogging just about that particular subject.

But, let's get back to my actual blog...

I have been reading and learning a lot about Blogging secrets, mysteries and how to's. Surprisingly enough, even after 3 days of:

   "Why it's not working? I'm following the exact steps!!!... Plugins? ... Labels? ... HTML what??? Urghhhh!!!" 

Well, even after all that, I still think I can do it! And I even realized that I am actually really enjoying this! Who knew? :)

So, from now on, instead of looking at what I cannot accomplish, I'm gonna try to focus on my little daily victories... And so far,in the last 2 days, I learned how to: 

    
   - link a page

   - add the { Pin it }and { Olioboard } buttons at the end of my post.

The Facebook thingy is giving me trouble so I still have to work on it...

I have a small list of things I really would like to set-up by the end of the day. Wish me luck!!!

What about you? Have you started something new lately?  I would love to hear about it :)

is this thing on??

Hi! and welcome to my blog!

First, let me introduce you to my brain and share with you exactly what is going on inside it right now:

   "ok.... breeeeathe!!!!!!  ....Oh my God, I'm so nervous, it's ridiculous...........
    But..... It's not like anybody is ever gonna read this....... right?

.......( deep sigh ), It's just that........... I have been dreaming about starting my own blog for more than 3 years now!!........ And today is THE day!!!

    Yep! That's it! Any minute now I'm gonna press that "Publish" button and it will officially make me a blogger... Woop! Woop!

    Yep! Annnnnnnny minute now.......... ( deep sigh )

    Yep! Today is the day I'm gonna stop listening to my fears.... and I'm finally gonna let go of all the "what ifs..." cluttering my mind.

    Yep! Annnnnnnnnnnnny minute now... (very deep sigh).

    But, what if nobody likes my blog? what if nobody follows it? or subscribes? what if I'm terrible at it? and what if I cannot keep up with it? what if I make a mistake? what if my English is not good enough? what if I receive mean comments? what if...? what if...?

........."

    Well, I guess I will never know unless I try, huh?

    So, that's it!  On this beautiful and sunny last day of January 2012, I officially declare my blog "One intention at a time" open for my friends and family the World to see!

Welcome aboard!

We are in this together so why don't you tell me what you think?  How long did YOU wait to take the leap? Or maybe you are still waiting? do tell...

Looking forward to hearing from you!
