Day 1

I never thought I'd ever have a blog, but never say never...right? I've got one! A few people told me that I should have one, and I should post my random stories, poems, and observations, so I'm going to try this blogging thing out and see what comes of it. If anything, it's better than writing notes in my blackberry and not backing them up, which results in lost material on a frozen phone. Why do we put so much trust into technology? We are heartbroken when it fails us, like a boyfriend leaving us after an intense relationship! "How could you do this to me?!" Clearly, I'm a recent victim to this catastrophic event! I'll admit...I cried. So, if anything my work will be saved if not for your enjoyment, at least for my sanity.

I recently had a meeting of the minds with a friend at work. I decided to have this meeting because I was beginning to get frustrated with my life. What am I doing? Why did I move to New York? I definitely didn't move here to sleep and work! And that's exactly what I'm doing. I mean, I have done some notable things here and there, but I need some consistency. I have this problem, and only I can call it that, because if anyone else does, I'll be offended and defensive. Anyway, I have this problem where I get super motivated and I'm like a freight train, and then all of a sudden the train slows down almost to a standstill, and it stays that way for way longer than it should. I'm not even near the place in my life where I can afford to just coast. I haven't generated enough product to watch the money just roll in. At this point, I barely even have a product! So, that's where the idea for the meeting came from. It came from me being dissatisfied with my normal behavior, and me wanting desperately to climb out of this hole that I've been in for so long. But I'm not the only one who feels this way, which is why I included my friend at work. Both of us are talented individuals who battle with ourselves as we try to figure out how to get focused, hone our gifts, sharpen our skill set, package ourselves, and move into the success that surely awaits.

So, I said all of that to say that this blog will be dedicated to all the many things that go on in my mind, hence the blog title, Thought Crossings. In addition, I will also write about the journey and the experiences that create my life's chapters, in which the end result will be...success.
