My new fave quote from Jeep ad: "seizing every moment instead of watching the minutes."

Shifting Focus: Coming Down and Moving Up

Life is glorious change. And so it means growing, shifting and trying things. So I'm gonna try it with my website. Created for play and as a learning tool, my existing personal site, ChelseaRocks.info and my Creative Bits blog, have been my platforms for practicing my multimedia development skills over the past 2 years. Now it's time to grow.

Why scrap and move on...but, mostly, why blog about it to everyone? Because who cares what one girl's doing in her life and her thoughts about it! Does it relate to you? How does it really matter to your life, other than being a tiny detail about where I am these days or what I'm doing? Really--who cares!

Why do you read magazines or books, visit websites and keep up with the news?

Because it matters to you and your life in some way.

You read and visit the sites because it keeps you in tune with society, updates you on something or helps you improve yourself. You learn tips for how to lose 10 pounds or have better sex, check the scores from last night's game, read opinions about news topics, and so on. Beyond helping you and your own goals, your interest probably fades pretty quickly.

But I want to matter to you! I want you to want to come to my blog, enjoy reading and even consider what I'm saying later in your day when you're somewhere else. My blog site needs to give you something: inspiration, information, guidance, camaraderie...something.

To aim to do that for you is very ambitious and almost ridiculous or pompous to think that I can do so. But I'm going to try. Chelsea-Rocks.info is going to come down, Creative Bits will shift and Rock-the-Journey.com will be born. Rock-the-Journey.com will have links to articles and blogs that inspire me, key points to stay motivated, and descriptions of experiences that I think will be useful to you as you go for your own goals. It will be aimed towards you who are trying to reach goals and not lose stamina. Starting from the beginning not really knowing what you're doing, or how to get what you want--but keeping with it anyway. Obviously I don't have those answers. But it's what I'm going through. I hope I can be comforting or inspiring by talking about it and sharing resources.

Thanks so much for those of you who have been reading my stuff so far. It's an honor to write something you take a moment to read. May I be able to give something back.

Passion.

Chelsea 2 cents: find some way to do what you love. If you never work a day in your life, you don't need to worry about retirement.
