Tell Me About the Glory Days:

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who dreamed of being a singer but worked as a computer geek.  She lived this normal life where she was married to a guy, went to work everyday,  and a few times a week she lived her rockstar dreams by going to karaoke, and when she had money shopped for clothing.  Then one day a coworker said to her "I love your clothes. And you always have such funny stories, you should write a blog". The girl thought about it, and then she did it. So everyday she wrote this blog about what she wore, why she wore it, how much she paid for it and where she got it. Then she added some random thing about her life and then posted a picture of the outfit.  The blog was a big hit among her friends, and everyone read it.  The girl's life begin to change.

The girl started getting more attention at karaoke because of her big unusual voice and her stage presence. The girl was losing weight and finding cuter clothes. Then there were more occasions to wear cute clothes. The blog started to change as the girl begin to sing places beyond karaoke. And the blog became more about her pursuit of her dreams of being a rocker and less about her clothes.  And things were great.

And Then Everything Changed:

One day suddenly the girl's life changed. The girl was abandoned by her husband and he divorced her a year later. She became a lead singer of a band, and after a year of singing with this band, the band abandoned her.  She got mixed up with people who she thought had her best interests at heart and eventually turned on her and wrecked many of her friendships. Her boss and her job started to treat her badly. There was a sudden death in the family.  Everything fell apart. The girl lost who she was. As a result, the blog died along with the rest of her heart and passion.

Change Around The Corner:

Months later the girl started to come out of her depression. Months of medication and therapy started her on the road to recovery. Then she met a special person who reminded her that she deserved to have good things in her life. Then her true friends reminded her they were there for her. She allowed herself to be angry at the people who did her wrong. And she started to heal. The wounded heart and passion was starting to come back to life. She sat in her vehicle and listened to a song from the musical Aida. And her love of music seem to bring her back to life. She was ready to love again. She was ready to fight for her dreams. She even started reading fashion magazines and started shopping again. She was ready to get her life back.

Where Is She Now:

Today the girl is happily remarried to a wonderful guy. She's in a new job that she loves. She still sings karaoke, and occasionally sings on some other projects, but she has yet to get back into a band. The girl has made a decision to really aggressively pursue what she wants. And today is the day where she starts that pursuit. She's decided that the blog was a part of her that she loved. And it brought joy to those around her. So this is her first blog after she found herself.  Obviously that girl is me. Welcome back Vivian Rogers: Singer, Writer, Fashionista.
