Well..I just realized I am a poser. A brutal realization at 30. I grew up with skateboarding and I have always had love it but somewhere along the way someone told me I had to let it go. Screw that. So, I am gonna do what I want, wear what I want and say what I want. Who the hell has the right to tell me who I am and how to be it? CRASH-sports was born recently and I have not given it the love neccessary to make my business successful. ColeRose Action Sport Headquarters started on a whim-I am a wife and a mom who wanted more flexibility and my love of the art of skateboarding drew me to starting a website. And here I am today 1 month in not succeeding and wallowing. What a punk I am.
I picked up the June issue of The Skateboard Mag recently. There is an incredible article about skateboard legend Ray Barbee-I just want to quote a minute. "How many people have you talked to in your life that are like , 'Oh I always thought it would be cool to play drums.' And I am always like, 'Why didn't you?' And they're like 'No time' or whatever. I have never been like that. At some point I just gotta breakdown and do it." He goes on to say, "It's life. It doesn't ever slow down." Thanks Ray. I heard you loud and clear.
This is the first of many posts following my awesome life journey...Discovery my true self and building a business built with passion not bullshit.
