This blog has suffered a bit of neglect in recent weeks. I’ve been out of communication and for very good reason. The fact is, I pushed myself out of the nest and threw myself into a new venture, a new phase in my work life. And boy was it tough to do!

For one, I wasn’t sure my 63-year-old brain could actually learn anything new of substance…and retain it (which might be more to the point.) I’ve dabbled for years in new apps and web tools and found I had an affinity for that, and I certainly have taken educational courses in my industry to stay current, but I hadn’t seriously applied myself in structured, formalized learning in many years. Could I really do it?

Aren’t they drool-worthy?!

I’ll be sharing more about this in days to come, but one thing I want to close with is this:

If you’ve been itching to try something new in your life, but have held back because of fear, I say ‘don’t’! 

Thanks for reading – stay stylish!
