Ten years ago today, I wrote my first blog post. It’s our WomenOnTheFence.com‘s 10th BLOGIVERSARY!
How things have changed over the past decade. Growth, evolution, stumbles, triumphs, watching my babies grow.
Thank you for sticking with me. I am grateful beyond measure.
How my first post went, September 11, 2009:
“Hi to all my Women out there! I am Erica Diamond. I am 34. I am Wife. I am a Mother of 2 young boys. I am an Award Winning Entrepreneur and Businesswoman. I am a Hockey Mom. I am a serial Volunteer. I am a Woman On The Fence.
This blog was created for all of us women who are on the fence… In Life. In Business. In Love. In anything. Period.
We are bright. We are dynamic. We are educated. We are perfectionists. We are tired. We love our husbands. We hate our husbands. We love our kids. Our kids annoy us. We want to work. We can’t juggle it all. We expect two dozen roses on our anniversary. We give. We get. We’re happy. We’re discouraged. We’re intuitive. We’re funny.
We’re women. Black. White. Asian. Hispanic. Through it all, we stick together.
Therefore my ladies, my goal of this Blog is to unite all women. To let you all vent your frustrations about living life on the fence. It’s time to make a move. It’s time to GET OFF THE FENCE! It’s time to make up or break up. It’s time to quit your job. It’s time to enroll in medical school. It’s time to come out of the closet. It’s time to speak your truth. It’s time to start LIVING YOUR LIFE!
I want to hear from you… OFTEN! You will be my guide. I will abide by the laws of supply and demand. I will give you what you ask for. I will let you set the tone.
“Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You’re off to Great Places!
You’re off and away!
You have brains in your head.
You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself
any direction you choose.
You’re on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to go.
So…
be your name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O’Shea,
You’re off to Great Places!
Today is your day!
Your mountain is waiting.
So…get on your way!” Oh The Places You’ll Go!
DR. SEUSS
Now, here I go. I’m getting off the fence…”
