Erin Kinloch – Fragile Beauty
I started this blog about 5 – 6 years ago. I’m embarrassed to write that! I’m also proud of myself for writing it. For calling myself on my shit, for being scared to share that this blog I once . Scratch that word once if I could find the strike through (no patience here) I am embarrassed to admit that too, but I digress …I have been writing / blogging/ pitching with various degrees of success…generally without success. I have learned A LOT. About myself, about others, and about the world, culture, business, non profits, freelancing, websites, affiliate marketing, e-commerce, Art, my own art & other people’s art.
learned how to raise a child (that just turned 20) .I Learned what it feels like to have no friends or family; I learned how to keep going when you don’t think you can, and I have kept going frozen, half paralyzed but I’m still here I suffered a serious of set backs with the law ; a broken foot reset with 6 pins permanently embedded and more recently I was creamed in a cross walk by a large hwy passenger bus in a cross walk with my dog. I was propelled into the air landing head straight into the pavement while my best friend was having her leg ripped off under the bus. The worst part is my seeming inability to secure a lawyer to sue for my injuries and a 13,000 vet bill, but somehow I have to keep going. I have to fight my way through, back to the life I know I deserve. The life family and fake friends have tried to thwart me from. It doesn’t work, there’s always been alight inside of me. Usually it doesn’t flicker but it has been dim for a long time. Today – my light came back on. I felt it, the spring air rushed into my nose and woke something In me! I’m back, and a little embarrassed at the small setbacks this blog has caused, I have drafted, changed direction, changed themes, changed logos, and my mind 1000 times!
Maybe timing is everything? Maybe if felt wrong to blog while feeling dread, or imposter syndrome. I’ve lost so much, but the wealth of knowledge and confidence I’ve suddenly felt build up inside of me is amazing. The grey sky seems to have made way for sunshine! Just last week I sat staring at this blog – blank page aplenty and curser blinking….not anymore, not today. I could gush more but I will leave it at that.
