hi honies, it’s been a while. i know my re-design is super late…. but i refuse to have it be anything less than my full vision. so, of course, i keep requesting the designer do edits and changes. lots of back and forth but i know it will be worth it. in the meantime, with my pink office in the process of completion, i have to start getting back to my first love. writing. more specifically, blogging. 
a lot of people ask me why i blog. i kinda been doing it for some years now and although i have ‘met’ some very lovely souls through the blog world, i don’t do it with them in mind. at all.
writing has always been a dear love. since i was in elementary school it’s been something i have used as therapy. whenever something happened that hurt me or that i didn’t understand, i wrote it out in my diary to make sense of it for myself. i didn’t want to tell it to anyone because i felt that nobody would understand why i was so hurt or confused. i loved the fact that there were so many words in the dictionary that i can play with and use to express how i felt deep down.
when the world of the internet bloomed, i started elbieinc.com as a monthly online magazine and wrote an editor’s note for each month to talk about something i was thinking or something that happend and what i learned from it. again, it was therapy for me to do something i love on a site that was created by many talented people that worked hours on end on it.
then the ‘blog’ was introduced and it was naturally something i jumped on early because it is what i do. i write and i’m on the internet a lot. blogging was perfect. i loved it. then twitter, etc…, the rest is history. i was on all that stuff early. i did it all the time and was able to get through a lot of life’s roller coasters by writing out my observations, frustrations, anger and hurt. just like when i was little. it’s just something i do naturally.
so fast forward to today and i have people asking me. “elbie, why do you blog? why do you do youtube videos? who REALLY cares about what you’re going thru or your random thoughts? i mean, who are YOU? “
*blank stare*
well, i am me. nothing more, nothing less. little ole me. a person that wants to learn and grow everyday through life’s experiences and be a successful human being on this planet that is able to help many people achieve their dreams and be happy. and during this precious time that i have on this planet, i want to write about what i’m going through as much as humanly possible.
again, it’s just me.
thank you for reading.
