Eek! The one that makes you shudder! Where you hang your head in complete embarrassment because no matter what…it’s out there and it’s permanent!
Yup, my very first blog post. EVER.
I asked Robo Mum if I could bend the rules a little and post my second one instead but nope. She’s a tough one is that Robo Mum. First or nothing.
So here it is. Resurfacing its ugly, terribly disjointed self. Read at your own peril!
Joining the gals at The Lounge (hosted with Robo Mum today) because they’re so awesome 🙂

Today has turned it out to be a rather interesting one. All it took was one brief phone call from a major Sydney newspaper saying that they wanted to publish MY article…and ever since I’ve been sitting up straighter, standing up taller, feeling like a proud peacock. Now it’s 10pm…my family are all tucked away in bed. There is finally some peace and tranquility in my household and all I want to do is write. But where to begin ? So many thoughts that need to be somehow pigeonholed and eventually articulated on paper. This is where the challenge begins. Now it’s been over a year since I left the crazy corporate world (or did it leave me ? Another story for another time). It’s taken this time for me to find comfort and a sense of peace in my new “direction”.
I know that feeling of having so many thoughts that/need want to be articulated 🙂 Great to read your first post 🙂

Haha I thought about doing a sneaky switcheroo too, to a blog post that I liked better, rather than the first one. And yet, we all start somewhere.
Can’t imagine the excitement and butterflies you were feeling this night, with a sudden new direction and all the possibilities of it.
So glad you hit the publish button xx

You’re one of the bloggers that I think could not ever have had a first post – you must have always been a blogger!

I’m glad the switch from the corporate world to writing worked out so well for you. It’s like they say it’s the things you don’t do, you end up regretting. Whoever ‘they’ are..
Great post. xo

It’s so amazing to read where we have come from. I think us cringing at our first posts shows how much we have grown as bloggers. I love reading your zany take on life…With Some Grace is off chiz-ain 😉
Tegan recently posted..The begining
In the Heckler – I love it! You must have been so tickled. What an amazing motivation to start writing your blog. I’m pretty sure you really started it when you were born though, didn’t you? Sure it’s been around since time immemorial? You’re the mama blogger. (Like the mothership…not that i watch that stuff. Am not a nerd. Not at all). xx

It’s better than mine, at least yours gave us insight to where your life was it – what did they publish BTW? x

I love it! Why are you embarrassed? It’s raw and it’s vulnerable but it’s YOU. So amazing how far you’ve come since then. It’s pretty inspiring to us relative newcomers xx

You rock. You’re doing an amazing job and your writing just gets better.

I know what you mean about cringing at your first post, but it’s great to see how far the blog has come! Your first post is good anyway. It shows your feelings at the time and all the potential you had ahead of you!
