Don't just say it, DO IT!

There are two kinds of people in this world: The Say-ers and the Do-ers. I said I was going to enter a writing contest and I did. That is being a do-er.  If you just say you're going to do something and you don't, you are a say-er.  I have lived in a house with a Say-er Dad and a Do-er Mom for most of my life. Then enter Mimi! Mimi is a full-on do-er and that took us all by surprise. If she says she's going to do something she'll do it! Mimi's a wonderful person and I'm glad to have her as a grandmother.

As mention before in the spirit of doing: I entered a writing contest. One of my favorite book series The Lunar Chronicles is hosting a fanfiction writing contest until the end of the month and I finally hopped on Microsoft Word and wrote out a Lunar Chronicle fanfiction mixing it with the Goose Girl fairytale by the Brothers Grimm. I'm glad to just have entered, but after reading a few of the other contestants stories, I have some good competition. If I win (I'm NOT counting my chickens before they hatch) then hooray! If I don't, then I'll still be proud of myself for this.

For any friends or family reading this I have an announcement: I will be going on radio silence for any photos until December. I went to the doctor who told me to exercise more and I was getting some medicine anyway for "personal" reasons, but overall even though I want you guys to see me through this journey, I felt it best to keep it on hush level until I really see and feel a change in myself. I want to show you the product of being a do-er and having strong motivation for something that has been put off WAY too long. Of course, it's a big change in a short period of time so I may not look that different, but I will say that I want to feel different by the time this is over

There are still chains binding me to what I was before I left, but over the next three months I will strive for change and accomplishment in my life that I was hindered about in NC. I WILL CHANGE for the BETTER and I WILL be PROUD of MYSELF when I'm done.
