Why I Started my Blog
I love reading blogs. Blogs about health, fitness, yoga, careers, fashion and all things life — I love it. Hearing others’ unique and personal stories as they vulnerably share their thoughts and feelings with the entire world inspires me. I could spend hours scrolling through the pages of a blog that resonates with me.
I also love writing. It’s so beautiful that words strung together have the power to illicit strong emotions and allow others to feel connected and understood. I admire so many writers and bloggers who share their lives and feelings whole-heartedly. I am able to write daily at my job in corporate communications but I have been buzzing to find a way to get more creative in my writing and to share the things in my life that truly fill me up.
Yoga is one of my greatest passions. To me, it is therapy, my saving grace, a practice to connect to myself and a chance to get to know myself a little more each time I step onto my mat. I truly believe yoga is sacred and magical, and I feel so honored each time I teach and get to share it with others. (If you want to hear about my yoga journey, you can read about it here.) Yoga brought balance and wellness into my life and I am so excited to share all I learn about these meaningful practices with you!
Between my slight addiction to reading blogs, doing yoga and my love for writing, I thought, “Could I do this?” I began thinking about how much time I spend on others’ blogs and found thought about fun it would be to have my own. “But can I do it? Am I creative enough? Am I knowledgeable enough? Will people like it? Will they think I’m ridiculous?” I wrestled with the idea for awhile in a pool of self-doubt and fear.
I meditated and prayed about it and realized I’m the only one holding me back from doing something I love. I knew it wasn’t going to be easy to create and to be vulnerable but not following my desire to share was more frightening than the fear of putting myself out there and going for it.
So here I am. Letting go of the doubt. Sharing things that light me up inside; things that have helped me grow as a person and as a yogi. All the little things that I’m learning along the way. I am so excited to share with you along this journey.
Here’s to learning to let go of the doubts and the mind stuff and diving into our passions. No apologies. No doubts. No what-ifs. Just doing it. Because the thought of not ever doing it is a hell of a lot scarier.
