And then there were two....

When I originally came up with the idea to write a blog, I admit I was a bit naive. It seems every time you turn around someone is sharing parts of their lives with the world. Whether through video, written word, or audio to name a few; it seems that everyone has gotten this "social media" thing figured out. As a self-described over thinker, I decided if I were to handle things as I always do, this idea would never come to fruition. Instead, it would be lost in the land I lovingly call my "noodle", never to be heard from again. Rather, I found a place to start my blog and wrote my first, sending it out to the world unknown. I'm embarrassed to admit, but I couldn't tell you where it was placed within the world wide web, or if anyone has seen , or actually read it. I do know that at the bottom of my blog page it shows a number of those that have at least clicked on it. How accurate that is, I couldn't say, but to the eleven people that may have read it, I would like to say thank you. My biggest mistake so far has been an inability to hone in on exactly what it is I want to say. That original blog, my first and only till now, was over two months ago. I was just about to give up, fearing anything I might say would be so insignificant it wouldn't be worth the energy and worry, until I came across an article. I read, not skimmed over, but read the words in its entirety, and what stood out to me the most was this. We all have something to offer others. Use what it is that gives you joy, no matter how silly it might seem, and use it in your message to the world. This woman spoke about her fascination with Excel for instance and how she used that to turn a hobby into her life's work. She said she literally listed the things that interested her and made something out of it. So, here's to taking advice and following my dreams. If nothing comes out of it, then I've lost nothing. But what if ? What if I try? What if I try and succeed? How amazing that would be! Again, I would like to say thank you to anyone and everyone that has ever and will ever support me along my journey. What a gift positive support is. One person believing in you outweighs any amount of those that don't. I am blessed to have two, my amazing sister and my amazing boyfriend. To Courtney Gray Taylor and Michael Todd Harbin, you both are my foundation from which I have been able to rebuild. You have been instrumental in allowing me to learn to both like and love myself. You have given me hope and the ability to believe in myself once again. I love you both! Without further ado, I am now posting this, my second blog, with the third following shortly behind it. I hope it finds the places it is meant to be, being read by those that are meant to read it. Till then, I am Candice Lynn Morris, reminding you that we are not meant to walk this world alone. Take time to lift others up, however you can. You never know just how much someone may need a YOU in their life.
