Feeling Pretty Blogelicious.

I’ve got a lot on my mind and even more in my heart.

I came to the conclusion that an outlet to share and express that which is within me would prove to itself to be quite beneficial. Since I have yet to be offered my own talk show on Oprah’s new network, I figured that I could settle with the creation of a blog for the time being. 

The idea of a blog makes me feel very “Carrie in Sex in the City”. Even at this very moment I am sitting at my desk, on my MAC, coffee by my side, starring out my window. Unfortunately my view is NOT the New York City skyline. Instead I see a rain gutter filled with leaves ( better get my cabana boy on that one) and the maintenance truck in which the driver likes to notify the tenants of his current mood via magnets which he constructs happy, sad, indifferent, or angry faces with on the side door. Some day I plan to bedazzle those magnets, but that could be a whole other blog post in itself. You’ve got to start somewhere.......

I was designed to be a catalyst for change. Brimming with passion and the desire to shape history, it can sometimes be challenging to know where to start and not try to conquer it all at once. I’ve got quite a list of things I long to accomplish. 

Some that know me may consider me to be an extremist. If I am going to be “in” then I am going to charge ahead full force. Go big or go home. I’m either engaged or I am not. There is not a whole lot of middle of the road. Let me preface, that while I may air on the side of extremity, I do understand the value of balance and moderation. I’m not a total loose cannon.

Through out life, I have not always taken the accustomed route. Even on the due date of my birth, rather than come out on time, 18 days late apparently seemed much better. My poor mother. In the realm of higher education I have also managed to extend the allotted time. Despite the speed bumps along the way, I have still remained true to myself and always followed my heart even when it has not made sense to those around me. The gift of self discovery and confidence in who I am and Who’s I am that I received on my unconventional path has proved to be much more valuable than following along and keeping up  with the status quo. I go with my gut. I get me. You don’t have to. I will say that God knew what He was doing (as He always does) when He gave me my mother and father. They have always allowed me to march to my own beat even when I know there were times they really wanted to ring my neck and give me a swift kick in the pants. The unconditional support has given me wings and because of that I know no confines. 

Every single one of us has something to offer this world. We ALL carry a message. I think it is time we attempted to discover exactly what that is. In the process of determining our message, it is important to not take ourselves too seriously. This only creates a distraction from us truly just “being” which is really one of the greatest messages we can portray. The world is missing out if we don’t share a little piece of us each day. 

People, the glass is always half full. There may be some curdled milk in that glass but it is still half full. Being the believer and chaser of dreams that I am, I’m devoted to the idea that our lives are overflowing with limitless possibilities. Rather than focusing on why our glass contains curdled milk, maybe we need to seek out a way to exchange the milk for a nice glass of cabernet. (Rinse out the glass first, of course.)

Through this blog I want to inspire, reveal beauty, create hope, bring about smiles and laughter and simply share my views and opinions ( I have quite a few) on life and the things that I love. There are no boundaries, this blog is my oyster. Through it, I also want to challenge myself to write often as well as search out and seek answers for the issues that I have such strong opinions about. I want to be a part of the solution rather than reinforce the problem. I will also be sharing lots of random as well as exposing you to the multi-faceted life of Jessica Fair. Get ready..

I am very excited about the commencement of my blogelicious blog. Here we go. Until next time - 

Be Fabulous. Be Free. Be Confident. Be Creative. Be a Voice.
