I haven't and won't abandon this platform because I love the community we've built here, but I'm building my website. And here's why.

"Why don't you just pay someone to do it for you," the little digital minion at my desk said. His little body was a pattern of ones and zeroes.

"Because I want to do it myself, and I've done it before, I can do it again." I snarled.

Oh my goodness, I thought. Am I talking to a fantastical digital creature? It's definitely time for a break.

[Side Note: That was totally fiction, guys, I'm okay.]

Yes, I'm Finally Building My Website

Did I ever mention I can be pretty stubborn? Probably not, so here it goes…

“I can be pretty stubborn.”

Building a website on my own after being away from Wordpress for three years is a hair-pulling ordeal! But I am determined.

I am determined because I like to make, create, and build things. It's satisfying when you see your progress once you’re finish.

You can take that long breath, smile, and feel a sense of accomplishment. Now, you all, I'm not ready for the breath just yet. I have a ways to go.
