I created this blog almost exactly a year ago and am just now getting up the courage to write my first post.
Why am I even beginning the blog in the first place?
For one, I love reading other people's blogs. So many times I've been reading and thought "I'm happy someone else feels the same way I do" or "Wow, they're really doing some awesome things"..
I started to think about how maybe I could help someone too.
I'm in the helping profession (education - one reason why I am keeping a lot of things private).
I'm also a goal digger ;)
I have a lot of goals that I'd like to accomplish but have been having a hard time getting myself started.
Speaking of goals.. I'll share some of mine right now. Some of which I have never even spoken aloud, but have held them deep down inside of me.
My short term goals:
*graduate with my Masters (fingers crossed that will be happening in May 2015)
*get a FULL TIME job after graduation (I'm sure I'll be posting more details about this later)
*run a half marathon (also - will post more about later)
*feel confident and beautiful in my wedding dress (I'm getting married in May!)
So. There you have it. I'd like to complete these goals within the next 6-8 months.
Okay so what does this have to do with blogging!?!?
Well.. I'm hoping that writing this blog will help keep me accountable. To be honest - I'm scared!!! I'm scared of failing. I'm scared of letting the people I love down. I'm scared of letting myself down.
Why didn't I start this blog a year ago!? Because I was scared. Scared to talk about my feelings.
Fear has been running my life a lot lately. I'm ready for that to change - and I'm hoping this blog will be my public diary that may help someone else who is dealing with a lot of fears. Although, I doubt anyone will be reading this blog- so if you are -- thank you :) and stay tuned!!
Love Always,
Lis
