Why I Started My Blog

I started blogging back in 2016. I had always loved the idea of a blog. When I think back about my “why” for this blog, it wasn’t just for me to create and express. This blog was created to connect. And to help people not feel alone. I always felt a little alienated and a little misunderstood growing up. I felt a bit different. Because I was introverted (surrounded by a lot of extroverts), a little shy, a little insecure, but with a whole world of love and creativity and desires within me. I wanted to live that wild, free-spirited life.

My Number One Tool for Creative Inspiration

I’ve been feeling a little uninspired lately. I immediately assumed that it was the move that triggered my little rut. I mean… there have been a lot of changes this year. Throw in moving my whole life to another city…of course I would be feeling a little less than inspired. I love expressing myself through words and it is such a release for me. I wanted to talk all about the changes I was experiencing and reflect on everything. But not only was I exhausted, I also just didn’t feel inspired to create anything.

Say YES to reading

Books have always been a part of my life. My earliest memories are of my mom reading to me. There was something about the way she read that made everything come to life. I loved being curled up in bed with her, looking up at her as she read the words out to me. Words I couldn’t see, but words I could feel. I could be perfectly safe with her next to me while my imagination would run wild. I think that’s where my love of reading began.

For the love of tea

Self-love is a beautiful thing. It's powerful, it's comforting, and it exists within you. It does not need to be validated. It does not need to be given. It's already yours. I'm always encouraging self-love, but instead of rambling on about it as I usually do, today I decided to give you a taste (literally) of my world.

Going all in

I am not going to lie. Starting this blog has been one scary ride. How is it that new beginnings are able to cause equal parts fear and equal parts exhilaration in one tiny person?
