Direction.

The beginning of a new chapter :)


For over a year now, I had been contemplating enrolling in the program to become a Holistic Health Coach/Counselor*, and I have finally taken that first step (this is huge for me)!  Improving upon my health & wellness has been at the forefront of my mind for the longest.. and I can't wait to use what I learn to help others improve their own lives.

So, the status of my lovely little blog here is uncertain. Maybe this will be my personal blog... but I lost sight of my original direction -- as kindly pointed out by one of my best friends :) -- and I stopped blogging. The "blog in my head" (lol) has never stopped, and I constantly have new ideas for blog posts and things I wanted to write about. But for some reason, they never went any further than the keyboard.  Part of it was the "perfectionist" in me, wanting to make sure every single post was exactly right. And instead of having fun, I ended up overthinking things, getting stressed, worrying about what others thought... and nothing would get posted.

But now comes my new direction.

As part of program, I will be given my very own website to use as a marketing tool for potential clients. I can't wait -- I've been told that the websites are awesome. I plan to start and stay committed to my website and a new blog, focusing on wellness, nutrition and my work as a Health Coach. There, I'll post those recipes and ideas that I had originally intended to put onto this  blog. I would like to keep you, my lovely mini-group of readers, as followers of my new website/blog when the time comes. So please stay tuned, if you're still interested! Thanks for reading.
