The Why

Life is short; live your dream and share your passion

It has been on my heart for a few months now to start a blog. Now this may sound like an archaic idea, as I don’t even know if blogs are still a “thing” but a wise woman once told but a wise woman once told me to embrace the uncomfortable, so here goes something.

Over the years I have gathered much personal insight and lessons. I have learned a fair share of things the hard way and hope to spare others making the same missteps that I did. I wanted a space to share those nuggets of wisdom, not as an expert with all the answers, but as someone who’s walking the same path, just a few steps ahead or to the side. Sharing what I’ve learned helps me keep growing too.

The world can feel really big and really lonely sometimes. I started this blog because I wanted to create a space where we can all feel a little more connected and that you’re not alone along the journey. Whether you’re here to read, reflect, or just feel seen, my hope is that this space feels like a warm hug, a deep breath, or maybe even that little spark you didn’t know you needed.

There’s something so beautiful about the ripple effect of inspiration. When I read someone else’s words and they light a fire in me, I want to pass that flame along. Starting this blog felt like my way of doing that—putting my thoughts, experiences, and energy out there in hopes that it resonates with someone who needs it. Remember - take what lands and leave what doesn’t. I hope to spark some curiosity and provide info that will be supportive in learning, collaborating, connecting and personal growth.

Now remember, I am no literary expert; english was actually my least favourite subject in school. Writing this blog is my way of embracing imperfection and letting things evolve naturally. It’s a practice in showing up as I am, grammer and likely spelling mistakes, squirrelly tendencies and all, and inviting you to do the same. It’s a space to speak freely and where I can express my passion and share my journey.

At the core of it all, I started this blog because it feels aligned with who I am and what I want to offer to the world. 2025 is going to be a year of embracing change and transformation and embracing the in-between. This will be a place to ponder and share thoughts and experiences. My journey is about creating safe spaces for transformation, and this blog is one of those spaces. It’s where I get to live my mission and invite you to explore your own.

So, here we are. A space where we can learn, grow, laugh, cry, and maybe even heal a little together. Thank you for being here and embracing this journey with me. Let’s see where it takes us.

Until next time, breathe deeply, love fully, and be kind to yourself.
