Blogging on a regular basis has proven to be more diffucult for me than I thought. I’m trying to look within and figure out why I have had so much trouble with this simple task that takes so little time. In my intrrospection I think I have figured out why this has been so hard for me. It all goes back to my nemesis EGO! You may be wondering what I mean by this last statement. My ego is where fear and insecurity comes from (along with many other character defects.) I think I am concerned that nobody is really following what I’m blogging about anyway, so why bother. I am also concerned that what I am writing about may not be of interest, so why bother. All of this is about fear and my ego. So what’s the solution???? Make the blog interesting and from the heart and perhaps a few people will be intersted. Take the time to gather interesting data and make the blog about more than just my random thoughts. And finally, stop worrying about what everyone thinks and move forward. How’s that for this week’s blog!?!?! It’s as real as I can get. Btw, this is the life of an author trying to find his way through the maze of being an author and social media.

I went to a luncheon at The River Oaks Country Club for a luncheon benefiting Archway Academy on Tuesday. I told my sponsor Scott I would split a table with him ($750), my plan was to invite several other people to share the cost. Well nobody showed up! I was bummed that lunch was going to cost me $750. That changed after 15 minutes of hearing testimonials from several of the students that had turned their lives around and are doing great at Archway. BTW, Archway is a sober high school for kids with substance abuse problems. They have an amazing success rate. Check them out at www.archwayacademy.org It was the best $750 lunch I have ever eaten (not the food, the cause)!
