Hi! I'm new here (grin) ....
I want to make a great and lasting First Impression ...
This is my first post ............ I want to start with an AMAZING opening line! ...... so I sit here staring at the flashing line on the screen that is waiting patiently for me to pour forth the intellectual dialog I am to provide ..... (still waiting) ........ so my mind meandered along for awhile as other random thoughts of What Am I DOING? What can I even hope to write about that so many other talented bloggers have already touched on? etc ...
At that moment, a memory arose from the depths of my mind (oh, I like how that reads :) of the Uglies trilogy book series that I read a few years back. I don't want to ruin the series for any of you who have not read it as it is fantastic, but in the 4th book "Extras" (so yea, trilogies only have 3 books, I know ...) everyone's life is like Social Media on steroids ...

| The story is set in a futuristic Japan. The city functions with a unique economy, one based on popularity. Each citizen has their own "feed", a place to post (or "kick") gossip and opinions, and the more people that pay attention to a person, the higher their "face rank", or popularity ranking. If your face rank is extremely low, you are titled as an "extra" ... |
As I sit here, I begin to pictured myself entering that world ... where my life is on the Internet or the Internet is becoming my life??? Would I only be an "extra" and does that really matter? Do I REALLY want to basically journal in this public forum? and and and
Obviously, I'll need to think some more on this topic (grin) ... I should now at least share why I chose the Title: CakeGifts ... Cake is the Sweetest Gift of All! I've started my own business officially this year. I plan to mainly sell unique handmade gifts (that look like cake, but are not for eating) from an online site. Currently, I have a freewebs site CakeGifts that needs to be updated with better content and photos of the Diaper Cakes & Wedding Towel Cakes, etc, but I decided not to delay this blog over my perfectionism about that part.
I will update it before the end of April and eventually make it over to www.godaddy.com to purchase my domain name. Meanwhile, you can find me quite often over on our Facebook page CakeGifts ... Cake is the Sweetest Gift of All!
The main purpose of this blog is to share my journey as a new business owner and hopefully any other interesting tidbits I come across during this journey ...
Until next time ........... Love in Friendship,
... Jennifer Clark
