This surreal life I'm living now.
People call me brave, but I'm sure some secretly think I'm crazy. I overshare, over-care and over-expose myself in a world of social media chaos. I tweet every thought that comes to mind, confess my dirtiest secrets in revealing memoirs and randomly reach out to strangers who I think might be struggling. Sometimes I make a positive impact, sometimes there's awkward silence.
There wasn't a plan in place when I wrote Dark Confessions of an Extraordinary, Ordinary Woman. All I had was the idea that my story could help others in similar situations. People started reaching out to me on my Facebook page and it blossomed into something bigger than I ever imagined.
That's when I came up with my plan, or better yet, my purpose. Prior to the first book, my life was controlled by my insecurities. I was a needlessly jealous wife, a weak employee, and a constant dieter. I didn't love myself the way I should and it stopped me from living a truly happy life.
So, I wrote Dirty Secrets of the World's Worst Employee, dissecting all of my work struggles and the obstacles I overcame. I knew others would relate and hopefully be inspired. Then I wrote Cottage Cheese Thighs, with the intention of learning how to love my flawed body enough to display it dramatically on the cover. Definitely a success! Quite a few women have messaged me that the book helped them overcome their own insecurities.
That's my real motivation! I'm willing to overshare, over-care and over-expose my mistakes, my flaws and everything that makes me human because I know I'm not the only one who felt the way I did. We're all human!
I might be crazy, but I have a solid plan now. I will continue to publicly analyze all the things that hold me back in my life and hope others find value in it. I no longer fear judgment and am not worried if someone doesn't appreciate what I'm doing. I know there's enough people benefiting from it to keep me going!
