Many of us live our lives in varying states of fear. One fear that I have been fighting is the fear of putting myself out there. Of putting myself out there for the world, only to have the world tell me that what I have to offer is not something that they value. As a blogger, I put myself out there – to an extent. However, I don’t do or say all of the things that I want to.

A few weekends ago, I was given the opportunity to attend an event called Arkansas Women Bloggers University. I had attended the event the previous year, and it was a highly enjoyable and intense experience, so I was thoroughly looking forward to being able to attend this year. However, my finances were not cooperating (the stubborn thing that it is, lol). I was hoping that I would get a last minute freelance project that would cover the costs.
It’s easy to think of adventure as something out of reach… too self-indulgent, too expensive, too time-consuming. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
This past year I’ve embraced the idea of “micro-adventures” as a way to add more excitement and inspiration to my daily life. A micro-adventure can be almost anything. As long as it’s easy, exciting (whatever that means for you), and breaks up your routine.
Ten years ago I spent all my spare time curled up on my couch with a book, escaping into someone else’s story.
These days I usually pass those precious minutes staring into the lit screen of my phone, but I still looking for a story to escape into.
Since diving into the internet world head first as a blogger, I have read a lot of blogs.
Last year, I was given the great opportunity to attend a blogging conference with the lovely ladies of Arkansas Women Bloggers. I spent 3 days learning about the art of blogging, hanging out with some amazing women, and generally having my mind blown by the possibilities. Picking which of the many awesome sessions to attend was difficult, and I wish that I could have attended them all.
