What is brave?

I know, I know... I've been slacking.  I haven't been around lately and I could make some excuse but I'm not going to...

Hey, it's my blog.  My rules.

Over the last couple of weeks, I've had a few adventures.  I've pitched the biggest group I've ever pitched for.  I've done trapeeze class (which was SO much fun, by the way... Highly recommended! Which, if you look at their tag line should surprise... well, no one...).  And, yes, the video is actually me...

I've also had a staycation with my kids including going to the zoo, the dinosaur museum, monster mini golf, a birthday party back in Staten Island, a trip to the pool that our friend manages and Dorney Park. 

Whew!  I'm exhausted just writing it...

And I have had several conversations about bravery.  One with a friend who was afraid to try the trapeeze class and the other with my 5 and 7 year old at Dorney Park. 

What tipped me off that I was having the same conversation was that I found myself using the same words...  Odd, I know...

Equal?

I know that this seems like a stupid thing to say, but not everything is created equal.

Actually, strike that...

That's not really what I mean.

"Well, what do you mean?" you ask. 

Sheesh, wait a second... I'm getting to it... Everybody's so damn pushy.  [rolling eyes]

Here's what I mean (See!   I told you so...):

One year later.

Today is the one year anniversary of Being Anonymous. 

It's been a crazy year.  Between a divorce, a new business, a new home, a new name and everything else, this has been a year of changes for sure. 

Happy 1st Birthday to Being Anonymous!!!

But here's how it stacked up... Over the past year, we've had approximately:

46,000 page views

300 posts  (this is actually my 300th post)

350 comments

I couldn't have done it without all of you!  Thank you for your support!

I'm going to keep at it (though my posts will probably be a few times a week instead of daily) and I hope you stick around. 

And here is the post that started it all (well other than Anonymous No More)....

A year ago today:

Grey Area?  What's Grey Area?

Here's the thing. I don't know whether it's true for all addicts, but I can't seem to do anything halfway. It drives me a little crazy. It drives some of the people who know me full on insane...

I see everything in black and white. I don't have grey areas in my life. I wouldn't know how to find a grey area if it bit me in the butt.

I either do something... Or I don't. It's like Yoda said, "Do. Or do not. There is no try." (Have I mentioned that I'm a bit of a geek? Try not to hold it against me...)
