I Have no Idea What to Write About

I recently hired my teenage college daughter to give me ideas to blog about.  We went to Starbucks, had coffee, I took notes.  She had amazing ideas (she is young and hip), so here I am....I don't have a clue what to write about.

I am looking over my notes that when I was with her  at our "marketing meeting", seemed so exciting...now they seem flat.  It must have been her enthusiasm.

I guess I am "of that age" where some things just don't seem interesting to me.  What is hard for me to understand is they ARE interesting to other people.

We spent some time talking about social media.  Instagram for one.  She had such cute ideas.  I did implement a few of them and as I was posting, I thought, this is silly....well 9 new followers and several likes, I have to admit she is right.  I am getting better at Instagram...that is quick. Twelve or less words and you are good to go...but writing a blog, that seems like you should actually have something to say.  So...one of her ideas was to blog about how bad I am at blogging!  So, this is it!

I'm working on it; many times I do feel like I have something to say.  I have opinions, most of which I keep to myself on social media, I have some knowledge of the bead world, I just got accepted into an amazing team of designers, I teach classes, I am very knowledgeable of new product in the beading world, I have new designs, I own a company, I ride mountain bikes and hike.  I have nothing to write about......

It's Olympic Metal Time

The opening ceremony for the Olympics is Friday, August 5.  In reflecting on the Olympics and all I love about them, I started thinking about the athletes and their hard work for a medal, then something clicked...medal...Metal!  So, I came up with some earrings to celebrate the Olympics.  Using Gold, Silver and Bronze these earrings are perfect for any occasion, but a great reminder of the athletes that give up so much to go home with a medal.
It will be refreshing to spend some time watching the Olympics.  Maybe I will even be inspired to create something even better.
