Personal Growth and Blogging Success Image from Flickr Success, personal growth and I have at times appeared to be on a collision course. Lately, that feeling has intensified so I am looking at many new options for my blog baby, Success Chronicle, which I'm reasonably proud of. Of course there's always room for growth, but isn't that the same with life? I've learned so much this past year about nurturing my own inner dreams and goals. It's been a great joy to re-discover my love of sculpting, dancing and sketching. In fact, I might just show off the first piece I ever sculpted (not having a clue how to make a porcelain doll or what the heck I was doing). Somehow, the clay block just felt like a part of me, so it was fun anyway. Alright, I can't help showing it to you so look through the flickr images at the end of this post. The bottom line I suppose, is that I needed to see that this search for self discovery and Financial Freedom comes in many shapes, sizes and time frames. Each of us will have our own unique definition for what that means. Our life challenges are varied, our degrees of commitment to relationships and significant others are different, and the levels of experience and frustrations we bring will not be the same. In order to define our own versions of success, sometimes it's critical to slow down to speed up. Over the next few months, Success Chronicle will be making many behind the scenes changes and upgrades so that I can make your visiting experience here even richer. **This is what happened the first time I ever sculpted anything. They've been sitting in a box in my closet since 1997.
