Do you ever have those ideas that sit in the back of your head for years without them ever going anywhere? You know the ones – they’re the ideas that you get and you say “one day” instead of just going for it? You think of any excuse in the world to not go after it by saying it’s “not the right time,” you’re “too busy,” or, my favorite, “why would anyone care if I did that?” Then, all of a sudden, years go by and the idea becomes a distant memory….
That’s what this blog was for me. Except that I actually plucked up the courage to make this idea a reality (finally) since you wouldn’t be reading this if I hadn’t.
I think I had the idea to start a blog as early as high school when blogs were first becoming a thing. It was the early 2000s and I think Blogger was the platform of choice (though back then it was called LiveJournal). I think I actually did create my LiveJournal page but I never followed through with posting much out of fear of what others would say or think. Then life got in the way (that was my excuse to mask the fear that I had in continuing it) and it’s now been almost 20 years since and I’m FINALLY getting around to publishing my blog and actually following through with it.
Talk about letting fear take over your life.
I have no idea where this blog is going to go. For the first time in my life, I’m just plunging into the things I’m wanting to do because I want to instead of trying to stick to some sort of plan. I’ve had so many “plans” during my life so far and none of them have actually ever worked out. Funny how the Universe works sometimes…
So for now, I’ll be talking about the things that bring me joy like health, wellness, and spirituality. I’ll use my own personal stories and knowledge to discuss these topics and to showcase what a healing journey actually looks like, physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. My hope is this blog can serve as a source of inspiration for your own life too.
So cheers to facing fear head on and doing what you want to do anyway 🥂 Let’s see where this new chapter takes me…
