Aiming too high...?

When I started this blog, I was writing for therapeutic reasons and didn't know if anyone was going to read it let alone want to interview me in newspapers.  I have a very good friend who said that I should start blogging and I guess it was always at the back of my mind. I also have a very good friend who I used to work with and who knows about all that silly stuff called "domains" ect, that I haven't got a scooby doo about but he is willing to educate me on this stuff so that I can do lots of lovely things with it that unfortunately I cant here.  Another very good friend who runs her own business , is taking me under her wing tomorrow night in order to maybe set up the new blog and to do a bit of research. I am very lucky that I have these people behind me and it is giving me confidence to take all of this to where I want to go..... Which is far.

As I said above, I didn't think that anything would happen with this, I was reluctant to share the link on facebook for fear of what people might think but then I got to the stage where I thought, "feck them, why shouldn't people know how it is to go through PND"? So I haven't looked back!

So yesterday, I attended a networking event in the city at Esca where we had a two course meal waiting and lots of enthusiastic women.  I have to say that I felt as though I had something to offer for the first time ever. I felt that I was going in with confidence , and I was right. People wanted to hear about what I had been doing and why I had decided to do it. I don't have a business (yet) although have many different ideas and one in the development stages(watch this space).  I met with women who were inspiring, who juggled family life,social lives and being owners of their own businesses.  There was an air of excitement, of genuineness and sisterhood!  We as women are lucky to have that quality as it inspires, creates new friendships and lasting bonds.

When I got home after work yesterday, I had an email from a journalist at the local newspaper who was interested in my blog and wanted me to contact him today.  I called and he was doing a piece on blogs and asked me a few questions surrounding my main reason for stating it and how it was going ect. Once I started explaining things he decided that he wanted to include the info that I had given him and also arranged for a photographer to come round to the house to take pictures of my daughter and I.  I was very excited because it meant even more coverage of PND, which is what I know is my ultimate goal, and something that I will continue to do for as long as I can. also, the journalist was not aware that men can also experience PND, so it was a small victory !  All in all, the info that I provided him with I feel , was pretty darn good!

So now I am emailing a lot of people to try to get stories in papers ect... I am aiming high but its for a really good cause, one which I am very passionate about.
