Starting Over

I started this blog a couple of years ago, and at first I was really enthusiastic about writing almost every day. I love to write, and I love to share my thoughts and experiences, so writing a blog has always been easy for me. But then….so many things happened…My father passed away and I was dealing with all that goes along with the death of a loved one. And then, our older house needed a lot of repairs, and we opted to just renovate it due to so many issues, and that renovation took up most of my free time, and I was still trying to work full time. So many things were happening, and the blog was one of the first things that got put to the side. But hopefully this time, even with life’s stressors and regular day to day life stuff, I can manage my time better and continue to maintain a consistent flow of writing.

Something else that I manage to start was a podcast, but again, I only recorded one episode because of all of the things that were happening in life, and I think I was trying to have expectations for the podcast that were too high. I think that I was trying have a recoding schedule that did not make sense to me, and I need to rethink how often I can manage to record a podcast. My end goal for the podcast is to not only have a platform where I can have an outlet to share funny things that happen in my life, but to also hopefully bring up topics that people can relate to. One day, I would like to be able step away from being in more of a therapist role, and take on my creative side, and probably integrate the two…..just have a mix of things that I am doing to keep it interesting.

Today’s excerpt is short and sweet only because I told myself that I would write something just to accomplish something and to get my blog back up and running again without too much pressure. And my theme for this week probably this month, is to manage the things in life that are important to me and not allow those things to become overwhelming that I give up.

I think the things to take away from reading (and writing) this excerpt today is to start small, especially when starting over, don’t have huge expectations, make it simple, and make it doable.
