Getting my feet wet, just like a Byrd

For those who know me, know this Vlog is waaayyyyy out of my comfort zone. I am the type of person that feels most comfortable working in the background. I don't like being on stage and in front of a crowd. Public speaking, frightens me! With that being said, I also believe...  "The only evidence of life is growth" -John Henry Newman. We must grow to have life and this will almost always require us to go outside our comfort zone. So, with the inspiration of my friend Teralyn from Bit of Byrd (go check out her vlogs... love them. They always make me smile) I am attempting my first Vlog for you. Going out of my comfort zone to grow a little bit more... I invite all of you to do so as well. I also took her lead in Vlogging while driving, it's a good distraction from just facing the camera head on.

Now that you know why I'm doing this, I just have to say a few more things before you watch.

Do I really sound like that!!??

And those glasses... oy vey. There is a story behind them. Most of my money is spent on my family, one way or another... almost never on myself. It's a mother thing, I think. So one day, I decide I am going to buy myself a hipper, newer pair of sunglasses, just for me! Isn't it my luck, I lost them within a week of buying them! So I went back to my old, can't get lost if I tried sunglasses.

Now enjoy the show....

                                            

Ok... now that you have seen it, I need to add a some more information. I don't think that's the purpose when you Vlog, but heck, I'm living outside the box now.

A million jobs... Yes really. No exaggeration. I failed to mention the one where I am a Family Manager (I honestly listed this as my occupation on the Town Survey, when I was a SAHM) and a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations, and everything that entails!

Also, although I work a million jobs, my kids can never shake me!  I am so grateful and feel so blessed to have the job at the school. You see, I stayed at home with my children while they were infants and toddlers, up until the point my youngest child was in school full days. Then, by the grace of God, this job opened up at the school. The same school/district my children attend. This allowed me to make some money, while still being on the same time schedule they are. When they have a school vacation week, I have a school vacation week. When they have a snow day, I have a snow day. It has given me the opportunity to still be with them, when I need to be.

In conclusion, I'm not sure I will Vlog on a regular basis... because as you can see, I still write, within my Vlog. That may be against the rules... not sure, but I think so.

What will you be doing to grow... the thing that gets you out of your comfort zone?
