The last few months I've seen a lot of bloggers get tagged to post a list of five things people didn't know about them. Since my
BlogTonia post resonated so well with other bloggers and readers, I thought it might be a good idea to implement the "tag" idea and encourage others to "get real" for a minute. If you're tagged to "get real", perhaps you can share an awkward moment, a less then perfect project, a career disappointment, a challenging child story...anything that will remind your readers and other bloggers that you are NOT perfect. Because we all think you are.
If I get five people to comment and say it's a good idea, I'll tag a few bloggers and we'll see how it goes. If you feel like volunteering, just make a comment below.

UPDATE: Three cheers for
Ali,
Tiffany and
Andrea for taking the challenge to "get real". I look forward to many other brave souls taking the plunge! Yippee!

Thank you for participating Andrea! I can't wait to read your "get real" moment. I'll make sure I link to it!
Hi Tonia. Super idea! Let me know if you want me to participate.
Jessica, I'd love for you to respond. This is a totally open forum and everyone's participating is definitely appreciated and valued!
I love your blog, although this is my first time leaving a comment. Wow - my life is full of awkward moments, challenges, and disappointments. I love this idea and I completely understand where you are coming from. Keep up the great work!

Your post really rang true with me, spot on in fact. So im off right now to have a think and then 'get real' :)
About a year ago I posted about a struggle that I had had a long time ago with a girl from church. I had no idea that anyone who knew her read my blog (though I didn't put anyone's name) but she approached me a few weeks later and apologized for the falling out that we'd had a few years earlier. I'm all for blogging about "real" life challenges. I love that you're doing this.
great idea...i may do one of these myself.
Nice use of my image, and thanks for linking back. :)
