Here is That Sign You Were Looking For..

Heelllooooooo first blog post! Thank you all for joining in on this journey with me. I hope you all find a home in this blog and that the words you read resonate with you in the ways you really need them to.

I picked at my brain for a long time about what I wanted my readers initial impression to be of this blog. In total I have been staring at a screen working on this blog for months…literal months. And I have been dreaming of doing this for years….LITERALLLL years!

Every single time I thought I was ready to launch it though, I came up with a mile long list of reasons not to. The reasons ranged from “maybe I am just not ready”…”it could probably be better”….”I really want to change that”…but I realized recently discovered why I was subconsciously holding back on The Big Launch Date.

The reason is….I was afraid it would fail. I feared that no one would read it and it would turn out to be a waste of time. I was afraid of being vulnerable and putting myself out there for people to really see what interests me and the feelings I have about life, and love, and goals. I. Was. Afraid.

It was kind of like I was waiting on a sign. I don’t know what I expected. Maybe a billboard, or a commercial, or maybe even a piece of paper to fall from the sky that said “Do it, ya big baby”. For some reason though I never got one of those signs. (Shocker right, couldn’t believe I didn’t see a Big Year blimp with my name on it)

In conclusion, I needed validation. After realizing that, I noticed that the same concept had been applied to my entire life. I needed a sign to turn my health around, to change my major, even to switch shampoos (I mean come onnnnn).

Coincidences happen. They happen all the time. But let me be frank with you, sometimes the stars just don’t align, things happen that throw you off, plans change, unexpected occurrences pop up. That doesn’t mean you should stop pursing your aspirations.

I don’t know what you are putting off. Whether it be starting a business, changing your diet, having kids, hell even just painting your living room, but do it.

Don’t avoid it because it is not the right time. If you are waiting for the right time, your liable to be dying your hair blue in the damn nursing home. Do it because YOU want to. Do it because you owe it to yourself to chase your happiness. Bliss is relative to you and only you.

Contrary to what the title of this post tells you, this is not your Sign, this is your wake up call (RING RING RING). This is your start line, now you have to run the race.

Let me leave you with this. You have the power, the intelligence, the strength, and the capability of pursing your goals. There is not a person in this world that can do it for you, it is up to you and only you.

I could be right. This blog may fail. My posts could be irrelevant to women’s lives. My mom and grandma may be the only people that read it. And it might just flop. I may reach just one person on a personal level, or it may just be an outlet for me to type my thoughts and share my interests. But that is the thing, if I am going to do it, I am going to do it for me.

Do something for you.

You deserve it. Let me say that again. YOU DESERVE IT.
