From My Notes App to the Newsfeed

Why I’m finally hitting publish, not because I have it all figured out, but because none of us do.

I used to keep my thoughts to myself… and my Notes app.

I like writing.
I like sharing insights.
I like talking about what I’m learning.
And I like hearing and learning from others.

But you know what?
I don’t feel like an “expert.”
I don’t want to come off preachy.
And I definitely don’t want to sound like a know-it-all.

You may have noticed lately that I’ve been hitting publish way more than I used to.

I used to be the quintessential Facebook creeper:
Quietly scrolling, never posting, always judging.

But lately?
I’ve been more active online.
I’ve been blogging and writing on social media.
And I’m quicker to share when I find something interesting.

Am I suddenly way more confident?
Have I learned a bunch of new insights all of the sudden?

Nah, not really.
Sure, I’m always learning.
But the more I learn, the more I realize how little I really know.

So, what’s changed?
I’ve learned that we all have something to learn.
And we all have a story that can help someone else.

I don’t share about my life, my work, or my kids because I think I have it all together.
I share because I know I don’t.
And I know you don’t either.

So maybe you can learn a little something from my mistakes.

And if not, you’ll at least feel better about yours.
