I know, I know itâs been a while! Trust me, I have missed all of you that read my blog and a SPECIAL, HUGE THANK YOU to those who have reached out to me and encouraged me to keep writing. For that, I am very grateful because there have been many of times where I let it slip away. But letâs get to it.Â
So letâs talk about that leap of faith. That first step. The step that matters the most but is also the hardest. Trust me, I know. Starting this blog was A HUGE FIRST step for me. Ultimately, I am glad I did it but whew chile, to get here was an ENTIRE process. I mean, I was scared, frustrated, nervous and down right AFRAID of the response. Especially with me being so transparent about my life. Even after hearing people tell me, âyou should write a blogâ, âyour experiences could help someone elseâ and all of that. I still was afraid until I just stepped out on faith.Â
I cannot tell you what made me do it but I can say that once the first step was taken, I wanted to run! So many ideas started to flow, so many topics came to mind but I had to stay true to me. True to what I wanted this blog to be about, which is full transparency into my journey.
Please donât be afraid to try and fail, donât be afraid to be laughed at, donât be afraid to do anything. Going after your dreams is something that you should always do. It may not always work but you can either look back and say, maybe that wasnât a good idea or you can tweak it and launch again! Let me tell you about something that I tried to launch and it failed.Â
I wanted to try to start an Womenâs Self-Care group. I partnered with a friend and we had put together a Self-Care slumber party! When I tell you we were so excited, it was about to be off the chain! But you know what happened, we didnât have the support we thought we had and ultimately it was a BUST!! Was I mad? YES! Was I hurt? ABSOLUTELY! But that did not stop me from bringing my vision to life. I am working on something now to bring women together to uplift each other and make friends. Itâs all about the motivation and willingness to keep going.
Keep the drive and passion alive in you. Donât be afraid to take the first step because you donât know whatâs waiting on the other side!!! GO FOR IT!
Be Blessed and Love Yourself
