Begin Anew

I’ve been aimlessly waiting for the ‘perfect’ time to start writing again. But the endless chase for perfection—hoping for the right moment—was only sabotaging my joy.

For the past eight months I have played a game of tug-of-war in my mind: when, how, and if I were to come back to this platform and space. I didn’t know if I should, or if it was worth it; however, I feel this longing and calling to get back to my roots and love for writing. Inspiring. When I saw that it was eight months, I was curious as to what the number eight could symbolize. Yes, I have been on a numerology kick. And, it hasn’t been wrong in a lot of the choices and experiences I’ve been facing. The number eight had a connection to ‘new beginnings’, and truth be told, that was the initial theme I had going into this post. 

My initial intentions for this align so beautifully with ‘new beginnings’: 

Rebuilding, restarting, redefining. 

I want this place and platform to feel like home to those who read it. Like a soul to soul conversation. An awakening to the light that is within each reader. I want to spread encouragement, hope, authenticity, joy, and energy to each one of you. I pray that over time this can be passed to friends of friends, family, co-workers. No amount of fear, judgement, and failure is worth resisting and ignoring my dreams for. 

Though the audience now is small, I know that the impact can be grand — even for just one person. Even the healing it brings to me. And, whatever this pull is that’s placed on my heart to continue this path — I’m going to listen and lean in. Trusting that no matter the outcome, it’s not about the worldly metric of success. It’s about the joy and impact it brings for me, you, and the lives I can touch.   

This is where we left off, and where we will fall back in. Here are to all the ‘new beginnings’ taking place in my life.

xox,
