And I think it's wise not judge yourself. I think with blogging and creativity, we sometimes go through periods of creative gestation; when our creative energy is shifting and moving us into a whole new area (or topic) of creativity.<br /><br />You're right...allow it unfold organically.<br /><br />With me, I intuitively know when I need to stand back and wait, and then know when I need to give myself a little push to move forward.<br /><br />But we're all different. So honor yourself....X<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing yourself on this post, girl. I ALWAYS love reading your thoughts, feelings, and input.<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying a faaaaaabulous weekend!<br /><br />Much X to you and Cristybella!Ronhttp://www.triloquist.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-80685169351907631982012-08-19T00:39:23.488-04:002012-08-19T00:39:23.488-04:00hmmm, how timely to read this, at a juncture when ...hmmm, how timely to read this, at a juncture when I am feeling much less enthused by writing or even reading blogs.

Thank you, and didn't you love...Hellooooo Pam!<br /><br />Thank you, and didn't you love Jen's post? Truly inspirational! Throughout these many years of blogging with her, she had shared several posts that have sparked something within me to to write something about the topic too.<br /><br />Loved your whole comment yet, this REALLY touched me...<br /><br />"I think the best way to achieve a good healthy dose of self-confidence is to be YOURSELF and not worry about what others think. Every one of us is special. There is no one else on earth like US and we need to believe in ourselves and treat ourselves special, because we ARE. And if someone tries to put us down, we need to treat ourselves like we would a good friend—with kindness and gentleness…and love."<br /><br />Amen and alleluia! You are spot on! Be OURSELVES and don't worry what others think.<br /><br />Much thanks for stopping by and sharing on this post, my friend.

They somehow believe that if we’re confident, it will make them less confident.” <br /><br />That is really sad. Everyone should feel confident since there is an abundance of it! Those who aren’t confident are missing out on one of life’s best emotions! It enhances our happiness, making our lives more complete—making us shine more. When we shine others notice and it helps to make them shine (as we’ve said before in another post). <br /><br /><br />I think the best way to achieve a good healthy dose of self-confidence is to be YOURSELF and not worry about what others think. Every one of us is special. There is no one else on earth like US and we need to believe in ourselves and treat ourselves special, because we ARE. And if someone tries to put us down, we need to treat ourselves like we would a good friend—with kindness and gentleness…and love. <br /><br /><br />Great post, Ron, I hope it resonates with others because it’s so important! <br /><br /><br />Have a fantabulous week!<br /><br /><br />((YOU))<br />Pamela D Harthttp://www.hartsbeat.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092603952139807812.post-73749547250506291972012-08-14T11:18:17.676-04:002012-08-14T11:18:17.676-04:00Hey there Jayne!

Yes, sometimes that does happen, but then there are other times I just have to slog through it until something ignites :)<br /><br />Glad to hear you'll be stopping by Jen's blog, because I have a feeling you're gonna LOVE her writing style.

I can see the warning signs and totally ignore them.......or excuse them.<br /><br />I LET things rob me of the very thing I'm trying to find/protect. Note the 'LET'......cuz I know the only one who can hand confidence over is me. And do I really WANNA hand it over to someone? Nah.....I'm kinda selfish that way.

And on occasion, I do hand over MY happiness, MY self esteem, MY confidence......sheeeeeeshhhhh......how insane is THAT?!<br /><br />Sucks to be human. LOLOL<br /><br />Somehow when I frame it that way, I get determined in the opposite direction. I do NOT hand things over easily. I work HARD for my stuff, handing something over willy nilly starts to irritate me.......WITH me.<br /><br />So thanks for that. LOL Apparently I needed 'disturbed' cuz I was obviously getting comfortable in what I was doing.<br /><br />WPIML tells me "It ain't require to WANNA do something to DO it.....DO IT ANYWAY" There's a whole lotta simple truth in that. And then he wraps it up with a shrug and a meek "If that's what you believe G-d wants you to do......".....which just irritates the by-jeepers outta me cuz he dang well KNOWS that ain't what I believe the Big Guy wants me doing. <br />Yeah......LOLOL.......double whammy kinda guy he is....it's quite effective with me.<br /><br />I'll stop looking under couch cushions and blaming the world around me and take a good LONG and HARD look at me.<br />Gawddddddddd....I just LOVE when people post something that fits for me and I have to look at ME.<br /><br />Couldn't we just go back to tattling to MOM about you flashing your undies on the world wide web? :-/<br /><br />HAHAhaha.....
