my very first attempt at Vlogging.  My goal is to incorporate vlogging into my wellness - and I have to say, its rather appealing.  The freedom to simply speak my mind, with no fear of interruption or invalidation was lovely.

Of course, now I'm on to a whole NEW fear:

The dreaded feedback.

But, in keeping with today's promise to myself of not second-guessing or over-analyzing every little thing I do, I'm going to share this.  

Like I said, I'm fighting.  I'm FORCING myself to commit to this project, to be honest with myself and others, and BE vulnerable.  One foot in front of the other, baby steps.

Speaking of, its a short walk to the beach again.  I think I've earned it.  

Also - being new(ish) to Tumblr and Vlogging - and reaching out to the internet at large - is it creepy to tag Jenny Lawson, to let her know that she helped to inspire my journey.  

I don't have twine, or paper to correlate, but I DO have my sincere gratitude for your grace and humility - your post this week on depression was a strong guiding factor for me, and helped kick my bravery into overdrive.

Let's all hope it turns out to be a good thing, shall we?  (I kid, I kid - where the hell is the sarcasm font when you need it?!)

Here's to the journey ahead.

And even now, as I go to click "publish", that mean beast that is depression is telling me that I'm a hack, that Jenny will think this a ploy to ride her coattails (its not!  I promise), that people will look at me as an attention seeking drama queen and 

ARRRRGHHH!!! NOMORE.  *click*
