Blogging & Business

try new things & dream big

When I first started blogging, I never dreamed I would be where I am today. I did not know that I would love to write, share, encourage, inspire, dream, organize, and produce in this little blog space. It was before I knew anything about Pinterest, Instagram, bloglovin’, twitter, blogging and even before I owned my first smart phone. This was my first post – wow. Tomorrow marks three years that this space has been my own.

Over time it has changed. The way I write, the things I write about, the quality of my pictures, and the over all look of the blog. I have taken breaks from blogging in moments when I wonder why I do it. I have discovered new talents and passions and weaved them into my blog. I have shared family photos, significant happenings, new recipes, and things I have learned. This blog has evolved.

Soooo… I think it is time. Time for trying new things. Time for dreaming bigger than every before. It is my 3rd birthday here on my blog and I think it deserves it. I have been spending a lot of time thinking about why I blog and the purpose behind this little space. I have been honing in on things I am passionate about and figuring out what makes me, me and what makes this blog mine. New things are coming – a rebranding of sorts, a new look, a better focus.

Thriving is all about not staying stagnate. It requires trust falls and faith leaps. We only get one life and I want to spend it thriving so I will have to let go and jump in.

I am so excited and I hope you will be too!
