Hi!
This is my first blog!
New year, new opportunity to do the thing you have been talking about doing for many years, right?
You know, when you have an idea, talk about it a lot, feel excited and envision it in all its details… and then start to overthink it and decide “nahh, that’s silly, I’m not gonna do that”, or say “I’ll do it another day.”
- That has been the blog idea for me.
I have always loved using social media as a place of expression for a long time. Like a virtual journal for my thoughts, ideas, and to even process events with words and pictures. Most of the time, I pour my thoughts/heart out onto my notepad and then go to post it, and it’s way too long. Doesn’t fit the required mould. (very on-brand for me) So, I have to refine, cut out and shrink it down to fit the square. If you know me, you know I like to share in depth. Short story, long kinda gal. The details matter, right?! So it has always left me feeling incomplete or like the thought didn’t come through the way I intended. + This website is mine. Something I pay for and have built to showcase my offerings, ideas, and personality. Why not put all the heart-filled content I create on here instead of an app owned by… someone else. (-Mostly my genious husbands idea, not mine)
So, here we go. It’s another stuck inside snow day with a couple of feet of fluffy snow outside (oh, darn). After a few days of lounging with little productivity, enjoying the cozy rest, today seems to have brought a burst of energy and inspiration.
I’m still not sure why/if anyone would come here to read my words, but I am often told by friends that they have enjoyed what I have posted on the socials.
Also, just like my insta, this is mostly a way for me to get my thoughts out of my mind and organized in front of me, to hopefully find some clarity and just express it all with some creativity.
So, If you are into short story, long type expressions of my thoughts and experiences - usually having to do with the meaning of life, how beautiful and tragic it all is and things that help me to understand and even find joy amongst it (ie, plants, yoga, crafts, tasty treats, magical moments etc.) Stick around! It will probably be a little messy, including lots of imperfections, but nothing starts out perfected; it’s the experience that makes it grow into new versions of itself. Just like us!
+ Maybe a moment of inspiration for you to start the thing. That thing you have been thinking about, imagining doing, whatever it is. Even in its imperfect version, with little to no experience. (trust me, I know it’s hard!) But, where else do you start?
And you know what they say about ideas… better out than in, right!?
Thanks for being here.
If you want, the comment spot could be a place for you to share your thoughts! I would love that.
Hope to see ya next time! -If I ever do another one of these. (lol!)
Bumi is usually pretty brave in the snow, but this is as far as she would go today. Heading out to shovel her a path now!
