Today, I shared the link to my other blog with with my best friend. You might wonder why it has taken me eight months to do that. Well, it's because I'm intimidated by her writing skills. She's writes professionally and I wonder what she will think of my adventure into blogging.
I told her mainly because if she likes it, she will tell people about it. She's a bit of a local celebrity in her neck of the woods and her stamp of approval will bring readers. There's no doubt about that.
My approach to my personal health care embraces some alternative healing methods, such as hypnosis. I know my cynical friend will raise her eyebrows at such things. However, any dialog about it is good for getting the blog noticed. I'll take the heat and ensuing conversations that always start with, "Did you check with your doctor first?"
I've sort of kept my other blog a bit of a secret as I've been building content and making it into something I am proud of. It will continue to evolve as I go along and learn of more and more ways to make it eye catching with content to draw people in and keep them coming back.
To make it a success, I need to talk about it and draw attention to it....to me. That is something I find challenging. Being a wallflower has been a easy role for me. However, I want my diabetic blog to be a huge success....so I have to allow it to happen.
I need to give it wings.
I repeat this to myself everyday. "CW attracts and allows success into her life." I have replaced phrases such as "if it's a success" to "when it's a success". I have learned with my hypnotherapy for weight loss that much of what we accomplish is in how we word our individual self talk. I'm not hoping for anything anymore. I'm doing it.
So, I'm wearing my The Sweet Diabetic T-Shirts out into the world. I've given several as gifts to people who will wear them. I've got my cool business cards in and have been dropping them around. I've gotten some great comments on the shirts when I've worn them. It makes me feel good since I did the creation of them myself. They aren't just for diabetics.
I'm trying to create a positive buzz about what I'm doing with The Sweet Diabetic blog. It's as much for me as it is for helping others in the same boat. I hope it doesn't sound trite, but it feels like it is my calling. The blueprints of where this blog will take me are firmly in my line of vision.
The first few pages of a related book are written. I haven't made daily time for working on it. That needs to change. I've been thinking of setting a deadline for a first draft. But, I did tell myself after I lost my toe and everything, that at the year anniversary of it all I would start the book. That date is fast approaching. My thinking was that the retelling of it all won't be so painful a year out. We'll see.
I'll let you know how it goes.

I'm with Queenie here! You have worked so hard and deserve it! I too love the t-shirts! How do you even design something like that? A program? Off a sketch? I was just curious because of a "heart" organization for children was asking for ideas for their walkathon for next year. The person that comes up with the best design will get all of the proceeds for their specific "heart" charity.Daily -

queen,
Thank you. I am working very hard on it. My readership numbers are up and seem to be staying up. That's always a good sign. :-) I'm glad you like the t-shirts.
daily,
Thanks. I can design my t-shirts right at the site where they are hosted. You can upload whatever you want onto the shirts. The back of mine are basically an enhanced version of my business card. The sayings on the front are things I've come up with that tie back in to my blog. This site is the kind of thing I wanted because I don't have to carry inventory. They do all that for me.

Thank you CW....that's an excellent way of saying a suggestion which I'll incorporate into my daily prayers.
There's nothing like positive thinking and making it assertive.

Rc,
You are very welcome. Have you ever read the book, The Law Of Attraction by Michael Losier? I think you would really like it.

Ed,
I haven't had a chance to talk to her about it since I saw her over the weekend. She lives three hours away and has a very busy schedule. It's normal for us to not speak for long stretched of time because of that. I'm a little intimidated by her writing talent to be quite honest. I'll be interested to see what she says.
Thank you for the well wishes.

CW, before commenting I looked at your T-shirts and I think they are awesome. I especially liked "What are you thankful for today?" (I remember your post of the same title) and "Lifestyle Change in Progress".
Also, I really felt your energy when you said above that you are no longer hoping but doing. That is really positive energy emmisions there, girl. I think when I first got to reading you here at SC I understood you were a creative woman but sad with her life and a bit timid and insecure about initiating changes. Now I feel you are totally in control of your creativity and focusing it like a light through a lens. Your business cards, your T-Shirts, your blog, it's all like the real you who was hidden away is coming out and making the best of things. I love that kind of stuff. And now you are starting a book. With your positive energy and writing skills I think you can really make something of it. Who knows, you may even appear on Oprah someday in the not so far off future and talk about how your book sends a positive message to so many people.
Oh, CW you have to keep this up. This could get really exciting. Have you appeared on any local radio talk shows yet? That could be a good start. Wow! I am excited for you.

hotaka,
Thank you. The two t-shirts you mentioned are the two I have for myself. I wear them out into the world when I'm going to be in a crowd. :-) "Being Thankful" is a regular feature at my other blog.
I keep repeating to myself that I am ready for change. Life has sort of kicked me in the pants and got my attention. I definitely have evolved from those first blog entries I made. My life was stagnant. I'm doing my best to find happier times.
No, I haven't been on any radio talk shows. I have been thinking about doing a press release for the local papers. They did a story on me once about some poetry recognition I got. Maybe they will find my blog interesting too. There is a regional radio station that might be interested if I contact them. Thanks for the suggestion. :-)
