Wow, so I’m actually finally doing this! I’ve been putting off starting my blog for quite some time now. The reason? Everything from doubting I had anything worth sharing, to thinking I’d suck at it to worrying about what people would think of me if I were a lot more transparent about myself. Also, I tend to procrastinate on the big things. Little things like housework and running errands- no problem. Actually taking the time to call someone (instead of text), and I just can’t seem to make time- sorry Grandma.
I finally came to the conclusion that this blog is my baby and it’s for everyone, including me. I get to talk about myself all I want (so vain), and share rhymes without giving Facebook ownership of them and I get to disclose personal stories/ thoughts that wouldn’t seem appropriate in any other forum- which can be cathartic.
And I realized you simply cannot let other peoples’ opinions deter you from doing things. If everyone lived that way nothing would get accomplished! I’m going to get real with this blog and it is scary, because I will be judged. Have you ever wondered how people would react if they knew the “real” you? Most people only know a version of who we are- what we choose to show at any given time. But we are complex and multi-dimensional, which makes us awesome and a lot less boring in my opinion. It is something to be embraced, not ashamed of. Like the saying goes “ Those that mind don’t matter, and those who matter don’t mind.”
My hope is that my blog will inspire people to find the best version of themselves, or simply just hang in there. I feel I’ve learned (and am still learning) a lot of things that may be of value to some regarding physical, mental and emotional health. However, I’ve also done some epically stupid things that can be more of a cautionary tale of what not to do! I should note that I try and will be trying a lot of things regarding health and fitness. But I will NEVER tell you what YOU should do- everyone is different and it’s your body and your life! I’ll let you know my experiences and hopefully you’ll find it amusing 🙂
On some occasions, I might simply post a rhyme about how I’m feeling at that particular time or it could be about the topic at hand.
I will do my best to post something new each week.
So here’s to my never-ending search for the best life possible, and maybe providing some helpful information along the way:)
