Hello Dear Reader. Warmest of welcomes to you! I am not sure how you have found yourself here but welcome! Welcome to my journey. I am grateful you are here. This is the beginning of a big dream of mine becoming a reality. I have a smile on my face this very moment that I am writing this and tears are welling in my eyes.
They are tears of joy and excitement accompanied by a warm feeling bright in my chest. Maybe I could compare it to the feeling one has on Christmas morning. When you lay in bed full of sparkling anticipation for the day ahead you know will be brimming with people you love, laughter, great food, drinks and all things magical.
Or the feeling you have before you begin a long hike into the mountains. The sun shining down on you while the birds are happily chirping, and your backpack full of snacks, and your friends are by your side. The knowing that the unknown (which soon will be known) will be a journey and even though you are not quite sure what will unfold on the journey ahead you can not help but smile and laugh because you just know it will be wonderful in its own way.
Maybe you do not celebrate Christmas or like hiking so neither of those examples make sense and that is sort of humorous but the point I am making in a long round about way is that I am excited and I hope you are too. So please let me tell you why I decided to start blogging and what it means to me.
I have wanted to blog since I first started travelling after high school about le 10 years ago. I even started a site (no idea the name but I would love to see find it!) but never continued. Actually doing it now is a really huge step for me! I have felt a lot internal blocks that have prevented me from starting but despite all the internal challenges I am doing it now!
Travelling is a really big part of my life. I really love all the different things that you experience, the people you meet and everything you learn along the way. It always amazes me how much a day can bring and how much it changes you forever. I have accumulated many stories over the years and to me they are one of the most valuable things I have. It brings me a lot of joy when I share my stories and they make people laugh or gain a perspective that they had never thought of before. I feel like blogging is a great space for this and that is what draws me to it.
I want to create a space where people can come to feel. I want you, the reader, to come to my blog to laugh, to smile, to cry, to find hope, feel connected and inspired. I want to express myself fully and allow you to connect to each part of myself and my journey that I share in whichever way feels right for you. I want this to be a place of comfort where you can come on dark days and reignite that little glimmer in your soul that bubbles into a smile.
It is my hope to create a community. It is my hope that you can learn something valuable from me that changes your life for the better. It is my hope to create a space where you can remind yourself that you are not alone. In a world that can feel very dark at times and is increasingly individualistic I want to bring in some wholesome connection. I hope my blog can be a little beacon of light for all who cross its path.
