I have been talking about starting this blog for a while
now. I’ve written outlines and plans and topics. I’ve shared the idea with
friends and family to keep myself accountable. I’ve even made creating it a New
Year’s Resolution… twice.
And yet here we are, over 2 years later, and I am just now
writing my first post. Oy.
To be honest, I think a lot of the delay came from chronic
perfectionism and un-realistic expectations placed on the blog by none other
than yours truly. I wanted the design to be perfect. I wanted to have 10+ posts
ready on the sidelines. I wanted to be skilled in something that I had not even
pushed forward and tried. Silly? Perhaps. But that's me I suppose...
That is where the title of the blog (which I naturally spent
months agonizing over) comes in. This is my blog. This is a space for me to
reflect and share and grow. It’s a space to share random happenings in my life as
they happen and as I learn. No phony exaggerations, no fancy flourishes, and a few likely typos/grammatical errors. Just me.
Hi Sarah! Had the same experiencing in starting my blog last month :D Took two years but we did it!

Hey Roxi! Glad to know I'm not the only one to wait so long! Any tips for a fellow newbie? (Also, I checked out your blog and am now fixated on the Zara clutch. SO cute.)Thanks for stopping by!
DeletePeace,
Sarah
My best advice would be that it's okay to make mistakes with blogging. You are gonna find your groove but it'll take time. I'm still trying to find mine! I look forward to seeing your "From this, to that" posts, that first one looks so tasty. Oh and don't be afraid to be social and reach out to others. Everyone is just so friendly in the blogosphere!
DeleteCan't wait to see what else you have in store!
