I am officially published!

I did it. I wrote my very first article. You can find it here at a business/personal development blog called FOR YOUR SUCCESS. This has been quite the learning experience for me. I had to face/deal with/conquer/ignore much fear and self-doubt. But I did it. I can do nothing but pat myself on the back for the accomplishment.

I am excited about the work I am doing at FOR YOUR SUCCESS. Not only do I get the chance to develop my writing skills but I get an opportunity to shed some of the fears that have held me back for years. It's about damn time!

Nobody accomplishes anything on their own, so I have a few thanks to dole out.

I want to thank the folks at FOR YOUR SUCCESS for encouraging me, believing in me and for taking me under their wing. In our busy society, mentoring is such a lost art and I appreciate it when people take it upon themselves to not only pass on what they know but to also provide an opportunity to put that knowledge into practice.

I'd also like to thank my friends (you know who you are) for listening to me when I was stressed, for recognizing talent I was unwilling to acknowledge and for encouraging me to do what I love. And for promising me shoulder rubs ;).

Lastly, I'd like to thank you guys, the folks who read this blog on a regular basis and who have deposited little nuggets of support in the comments section. You have no idea what that has meant to me.

I believe a toast is in order. Raise you glasses everyone! Here's to silencing the inner critic and the unlimited possibilities that brings. Cheers!

Very good and Congratulations!!

Now remember, don't listen to that critical inner voice anymore, listen more to that one that tells you how great your are.

We're pleased to have had GrizzBabe join us. It's good to know she has such supportive friends. Wondering, though, why there were so few comments related to her article at For Your Success.

I have seen some of you, which we appreciate. Angela attracts such a good group; we'd be interested in your insights and suggestions whatever they maybe to help us improve.

Might you find time to visit and let us know what you think?

Congratulations on your article - it was really well written, and I think it is so true that there is a lot of great information available for free on the internet. I also find that reading blogs is a great way of getting to know someone and what they are really like before you buy a product or service from them.

I would like to personally thank you for recommending my blog - that was really lovely of you!
