Y’all Listen…today marks ten years with Diaries of Suzy Doozer. I should feel humbled by the growth of this blog that I have put pieces of my Life into. Instead, I feel a little behind. I have grown and changed so much in the last ten years, and I haven’t been diligent about sharing that here.
I remember very vividly the night that I started this blog. I was at work, that was my first agency, and now I am on my fourth. Not in the way that people change workplaces because they need to, or that I wasn’t successful there. I have moved with purpose. I have created whole exit strategies that have taken me to where I write this today. That is perhaps a story for another time.
It was a typical night there at work, I was saving Lives and planning what I thought I wanted my future to look like. I do that a lot. I plan, I make lists, I adjust, I replan, and then..execute. That night I was actually inspired a little by the Birthday of someone that is controversial in both his music and his personal life. Jerry Lee Lewis. In the years that followed, this World lost that very talented Man, and I was quite devastated. I didnt come here to write about it, and for that I apologize.
Nevertheless, I started this blog with the idea that if I could impress some, inspire some, entertain some, and mostly…that I might be able to make someone think. To make any one of you out there think about something, or to laugh, or to look into the next travel plan..that was the goal.
I can say that Ten years seems really wild to me. I have moved from one State to another, and then to a new Country. I have maintained my same career but progressed in it. I have changed my mind and changed my hair. I don’t think that staying the same for very long is a good idea in general, and I have challenged what most people think of as success. I have taken risks that most people would not. I have left things on the table when I saw that it was not the best thing for me at the time. Kind of like Kenny Rogers…you have to know when to hold em and know when to fold em…
I know that I have said many many times here in these pages that I will try to be more present, to write more. I do mean it every time; it just becomes difficult. I was promoted at work, I am a college gal again, I still have a personal Life to manage. I am also travelling more than I ever have. I can say this…when I come in and share, it will be because I am ready to give you the solid and meaningful stuff you deserve.
Thank you for following along, showing up. Thank you for reading my thoughts, the insides of my heart and mind. I don’t know where ten whole years has gone, because I haven’t aged a day; not in the ways that matter. So cheers to that. The last ten, and to however many more years you follow along with my thoughts, fears, and happiness. If I can take you this far and wide, I think we have a Lifetime.
XO, Suzy Doozer
