Back to dictating my blog posts again!

This is what it looks like when you have no idea what direction to take:

“Never really thought that it would be something that I would have to deal with so early on in setting up this website, but it did. My website went down. Hard. Luckily, I saved the posts that I created in Google documents for the most part. But it’s a lot of hassle creating the webpages and everything that you see here on my website. So I am going back one by one to try to create stuff so that I can have a clean and polished look for when people need to come to my website and find out more about me and goings-on. so forgive my appearance here on the website, but I’m trying the best I can to get back to square one. At least my website updated back in April, so the most content that you will see comes from that time. I started my podcast on May 28, eight years after my son was born, which was something very meaningful for me since I wanted to get it started again. So I am grateful that I have built something to be a little worried about having lost. The worst case . . .”

And this is what it looks like after you’ve had a moment of clarity:

And that was the last thing that I wrote before I decided it was just time to speak from the heart. Long story short, I have to re-populate my blog back to April, when my last backup was saved. Recently, I made a huge boo-boo, and tried to upgrade my website to a new theme without making sure that my website was backed up. Sure enough, it was not, and then, when I had it restored from my host, they did not realize that they were restoring it from April, so everything I had was wiped out. Luckily for me, it was not a lot. I had no idea how I was going to do it again, because I found that speaking into my phone with voice dictation was the way to go. But because I use Google docs which is over the Internet, there was always a delay, and never seemed to hear me right. Now that I shut my Wi-Fi off when I’m recording, it seems to be going smoothly. I do have to say commas and periods, so that it knows where to end sentences and separate them with commas, but I can deal with that. The fingers just don’t work like they used to. I can live with that. I cannot live with getting my thoughts out of my brain. They just scratch like they’re a little beast. Going to get out. My mind is super active. Especially in the early morning. Right now it’s about 4:55 PM.

There is also a worksheet for the workshop, because I want people to have some thing to take away with them. I do have a little tweaking to do to that worksheet as one of the women who I presented my manifestation magic workshop to head mailed me her completed worksheet. I was so thankful for this, because I could get to see how people would really fill it out. I needed to tweak the words that I say on there so that the answers are more direct into the point. This is not a problem, and I just need to tweak my presentation a little bit and I’m good to go.

I’m really looking forward to manifesting my dream and presenting in front of a live audience again, which I only used to do when I was singing or presenting a social media or online marketing workshop. It’s something that I really love. An audience is a living, breathing creature, each one unique, and it’s on right. There were so many unique people within each audience that they could never be the same. They are like snowflakes to me. I value them tremendously, and they make me a better person, and my next performance will always be my best one. I will always strive to give my best performance at that moment, but whatever I learn from that performance will just make me better for next time. It’s a lifelong, never ending process, which works out great because I’m a lifelong learner. I am grateful for that. It feels really good to dictate my blog posts again. Oh how I’ve missed you.
