I'm pretty sure that if you asked my Mom to describe me, one of the first words she would use would be "stubborn." She might be nice and say "determined," but, yeah...stubborn is what she means. I apparently get this trait from both of my grandmothers--once I make up my mind, REALLY make that choice, the decision is made and I WILL do whatever it is. Sometimes this is a good thing. Sometimes...not so much.
Recently, however, I had to make a change. It was shown to me that something I have refused to do is probably part of why I haven't raised as much support as was hoped: being overly connected on-line. It may sound silly, but I despise the way my generation and, even more, the younger generations have become obsessed with technology-based relationships. I admit that I've had some friends from chat rooms for years (let me see...I met Regi, Corbie & Daren back when I was sixteen and am still in touch with them), but that's not the same as spending every waking hour texting, tweeting, blogging, facebooking, emailing, etc. BUT that's what my generation does, SO, that's what I'm going to be doing more of. Yay...so exciting...yeah...really, it is...yeah...
SO, expect some more on-line stuff from me. Soon, I'll have some videos up on youtube (some clips from shows, some stage-craft tips, etc.). I'll be more faithful with this blog, as well as facebook, email and other updates. So...stay-tuned, or whatever the current-day equivalent of that would be... ;)
This week's challenge: What are some things you may need to change in your own life? They may seem petty, like my transition into my own generation's communication world, or they may be much bigger (and I've got some of those, too!). Ask God: what am I ignoring that is hurting me? And then LISTEN, and make the changes! Easier said than done, absolutely, but still necessary.
