A Season of Hope

To say that this has been a tough season for me would be an understatement.

Yes, I have some tremendously wonderful things happening in my life that I’m beyond excited about. I have gone through a period of self-discovery that is slowly but surely returning me to feel more like myself than I have in a long time. But through that healing and growth, there has been a lot of nasty gunk getting stirred up.

I had such high hopes that I’d be able to process some of those experiences through writing here for you all – well, the few people who have my domain name at this point, anyway. The truth is I’ve remained locked in my own head. And I’ve wrestled with the whirlwind around me internally. It’s also incredibly scary to start sharing one’s thoughts and emotions here on the internet.

That being said, I’m not throwing in the towel! I will continue to push my comfort zone and learn to share with you. I will silence the negative voices in my head that tell me my posts aren’t long enough and I have nothing valuable to say. I will open up more about the things that are important to me. I will let go of the fear that otherwise tries to hold me back.

After all, that’s what inspired me to create this blog to begin with.

So I guess for today I mostly wanted to say, I’m still here!

Thank you for your patience and understanding. There is always hope, no matter the season.
