Something that people talk about a lot when you post photos of yourself and give you opinion on the internet is your level of self-confidence. For me, it’s always been something that came from the value I was told I had when I was a child. I got lucky. Hit the lottery of parenting that meant I was okay with me for the majority of my life. Even when I was going through the darkest days I could project a confidence that sooner or later won out over whatever I was feeling. When Naomi from Seven Cherubs asked about my level of confidence earlier this year, I responded with HIGH, bordering on up myself. Not that it doesn’t waver sometimes. But overall, I would describe myself as confident.
So what’s this got to do with anything, you might say?
Whoop-dee-do for you Suger, you might also say!
Smart ass.
But this is about you guys. You asked and now I’m going to deliver.
Starting the 1st of November I’m running a post series.
It’s about you
It’s about confidence.
It’s about being yourself.
And I think you guys are going to love it.
Watch this space. Heck, even subscribe for updates {use the sidebar buttons for your preferred method}. Do what you want but be here bright and early on the 1st of November for our first ever post series. More details to come. You know, after I figure them out. Joookes. This has been a long time coming and the ProBlogger event on the weekend gave me the kick I needed to just get writing it. So I am. Go me.
November, here we come!
Hi! I’m Melissa Walker Horn. Around here, they call me Suger. I’m the Chief Blogger and doer of all the things here at Suger Coat It. Blogging since 1901; I love a casual ootd, taking photos, and writing about things that irk or inspire me. I love wine and cheese, long days at the beach and spending time with my family. I make stuff for the internet over at Chalkboard Digital. You know, living the sweet life.
Hi. Found your blog through FatMumSlim (I think). Looking forward to reading this series, and the rest of your blog 🙂
Hi there Vera, welcome along. Enjoy the posts, let me know if you have any questions or comments, I reply to them all. xo
Looking forward to it 🙂
Thank you Leisa. Fingers crossed. xo
I will be here fo sho!!! I love it when you bring new ideas to the blogosphere – anticipation is high! 🙂 xx
Thank you!! Love your comment, it made me smile. 🙂
Go YOU! ya big tease…. thats ages away, hate waiting! 😉
I hate waiting too, but I still have stuff to do to be ready. So being a tease it is. Haha.
This really excites me!
As someone who struggles a lot with self esteem, part how I was raised but I think part of it is not knowing how to love myself, something I want to learn, I will be reading and taking notes eagerly.
Ooooo GOOD! Thanks for the support Miss. xo
Oooooo very interesting! I’ll be with breath that is baited too!
Haha. Great! See you there!
Oooohhhh….. Shall be waiting with breath that is bated! Very timely indeed given some big life changes taking place in my world at the moment… I’m all for a piece of online participation 🙂
Ha! With breath that is baited indeed. This should be fun. I hope everything is okay with you. Changes can be tricky sometimes.
Haha, thanks. It’s all good, or it will be in the end. You know when there is a load of stress and changes going on, and you know it’ll all be fine (and most likely for the best) once you’re on the other side, but you just have to work through the process? Yup, that’s me. I’m sure we’ve all been there at least once 🙂
I know I have been. Shoulders back, head up and on with it. Right? All the best!
Uh Huh…. All of the above. Plus a new coloured blazer (emerald green!) just to kick butt on the world today. 🙂
I am totally looking forward to it! If it is something I can participate in, I will.
Yaaay! Me too. Glad to have you on board Jen.
Ohh wow…you know how much I admire and envy your confidence Suger. Really look forward to it!
I’m glad! Can’t wait to share this stuff with you guys. I’ve been mapping out the posts for a month or so now. Decided this weekend to just go for it. Hope you enjoy it!!
oOoOo sounds like Sugar Boot Camp we talked about 😉
Look forward to November 🙂
x
It should, be that is EXACTLY what it is. A slight name change so people know what the heck I’m on about and that’s it. Excited now? 😉
Yay I nailed it!! I’m glad I suggested it now!!
x
Totes did. Me too. It was something I was mulling over and after that conversation started to sketch out a little. Then after the PB event, I was like, now or never lady, now or never. 😉
I love your confidence and glad you are sharing it!
Thank you Sarah. 😀
I’ll be here bright and early sounds exciting x
Excellent! See you then. 😀
Wow sounds exiting, i’ll be looking forward to it.
Must admit I laughed out loud to your response about your confidence being HIGH bordering on up yourself. I laugh because, you must be my smart arse soul sister separated at birth……that’s so my response. Believe me life hasn’t always been like that but I gee I’m glad to be me.
Haha. I think a lot of people did. It just seemed SO out there. A bit much really. But, heck, that’s the fun part. We absolutely have been separated at birth my friend. The similarities don’t seem to end. 🙂
