Perfectionism is such a hindrance. You don't want to do anything until you can do it perfectly and consequently, you do very little. Ifinally realized that I will never get started blogging until I just do it. 
I worked for weeks on my profile, not wanting to make myself visible, until it was the best representation of me possible. I have now accepted that it can be a work in progress and will improve it as ideas and time allow. My 1st efforts were to look up my big sisters of blogging, Cindy Jones of Virginia and Margaret Rome of Maryland, and to see what they have done. I tipped my toe in the water by commenting to posts they have made and now I am finally ready to dive into my own.
I don't want my pursuit of perfectionism to keep me from doing the things that I desire. I will however pursue to ever improve upon what I have done and work towards doing things better always. I think that this will make me much more tolerable to live with and for this my family will be very grateful. They know me and love me despite my shortcomings, but I just don't want my customers and clients to have to suffer with them. I must accept that I am human and it is part of my natural make-up to be fallible.
The next thing I must be wary of, is to not get in over my head and spend too much time blogging. I have a lot on my heart and enjoy reading what is on other people's minds.
