Go "FIG"ure….

Every time Wednesday pops its head around the corner, I think I have a post all planned out with WIAW, then suddenly I read something here or there and it makes me rethink it all…..in a good way!

I read THIS POST today on Dorry’s blog. She talks about what makes a blog good (to her). This really struck a chord with me. I know I read certain blogs for a reason, but would I read my own blog? At that moment I thought of my self affirmation kit (yes, sounds corny, but it WORKS).

The real question that then came to mind was…..

WHY WOULDN’T I (WE) READ MY (OUR) OWN BLOGS?

Is it because it’s not fancy enough, popular enough, etc.?????

Um….HELL no! (pardon my French)

Your blog REPRESENTS YOU!
And if you don’t think that’s good enough, DO SOMETHING (anything) about it!

Dorry’s post had a quote from her tea up that summed it up perfectly….

“The Beauty of Life is to Experience Yourself”

How’s that for some self affirmation? Winking smile


And because I feel like babbling on, here’s my. WIAW with an “ODE” to Figs

That about does it folks.

Food and flavors that are random, but it represent me.

Go FIGure!---> (pun intended)

Would you read your own blog? Anyone use self affirmation today?

Hope so!
