Stephen Covey’s six little words could save so much heartache, if only we applied them in our daily life. The biggest reason I have trouble finishing projects? I don’t have any idea what I really want to accomplish. In my excitement, I jump right into things with both feet and wing it. Sometimes I get lucky and everything works. More often, things get messy and I struggle to finish. Too many times, I quit and leave things undone. Or worse, half-done, with the guilty remnants of my great idea staring me in the face every day.
With that in mind, here are my intentions for this blog:
- I am a writer. I will act like one. I will put words on a page and float them out into the blogosphere at least once a week, or more often if life allows. Typos and bad grammar will occur. People will get over it.
- I am a leader – and a female – in a male-dominated profession. I will offer my best thoughts and ideas about how to survive and thrive in the arena. As a bonus, I will strive to take my own advice.
- I am a voracious reader and podcast consumer who has been inspired by many writers, bloggers, and podders? podcasters. I will share their work and pay homage to the people who have inspired me.
- I will support my favorite cause: TeacHaiti.org, a non-profit organization whose goal is to provide education to the impoverished children of Haiti. I have no plans to turn this blog into an avenue for personal monetary gain at this point. If people like my blog, they can donate to TeacHaiti and change a child’s life forever.
So there they are, my Prolific Intentions stated clearly and succinctly. A plan, a goal, an end in mind. Happy, happy day!
