And the blogging begins...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is official! I've entered into the world of blogging. Why, you might ask? Well, as some of you know, I'm helping out my cousin with some Marketing initiatives for her start-up home party business.

I've been doing some investigation into the world of social media (things they won't let me do at my full-time job in corporate hell). While I'm all over the benefits and capabilities of Facebook, I'm just now getting familiar with the blogging world. And what a complex world it is!

But, on the other hand, what a rewarding world it is! I've been reading posts by other Gen Y bloggers and I'm quickly learning I am not alone in my angst and indecision. I've found a few resourceful communities, like Brazen Careerist and Modite. It seems like most Gen Y bloggers are all equally distraught when it comes to finding a balance between what you want to do and what pays enough to do it. It's a fine line, really. Do you love what you do or do you survive? The measure of success has certainly become blurred.

So, here I am. Doing what I love. I've always loved to write, but somewhere over the past few years, I've forgotten that. So, through my blogging, I hope to recapture this love and maybe even improve my skills. In addition to this blog, I'm also writing an advice blog to support the Marketing initiatives of the home party company. I'm also writing content for a monthly newsletter (stay tuned for additional details in the coming month). And eventually, maybe, this will lead into a whole new career path.

'Til next time...
