Like many others, I was saddened to hear of the death of Steve Jobs. When he stepped down from Apple, a video started making the rounds of his commencement speech from Stanford a few years ago. I haven’t watched it yet – but hear it is something not to miss. Jobs followed his dream and encouraged others to do the same – live your life and not others. Pretty powerful stuff and especially poignant considering I feel I am at a career crossroads.
Lately I have been struggling with what to do with my blogs. I love blogging and have way more than I can keep up with – even when I was at home I didn’t blog on each blog everyday. I have also been searching for what I truly get from blogging and what I offer from my blogs. This is tough since I have one blog that I do make a little money from. That was especially important before I had a regular job but now I enjoy making a few dollars with it.
My ‘start-up’ blogs I plan to roll all into Raesmom. I no longer believe in the ‘one blog one subject because it’s better for search results’ mentality. I want to talk about whatever I feel like and hopefully someone – anyone – will want to read it.
My job right now is the means to an end of living our dream. I know what I love to do – so that is what I need to be doing. It is time to create some goals and set forth on the path to making our dreams a reality. I’ll expand more on this when I have a plan in place.
