Celebrating Three Months of Blogging
Today I am celebrating three months of blogging and I am so thrilled.
The first time I wanted to create a blog was in 2012. I wanted to create a career blog. I remember being so hung up on the name including the word savvy. Over the next twelve years, I have started so many blogs and never fully executed them for the same reasons. I don’t want to post everyday. I don’t like taking photos. I’m definitely not taking selfies in public. I don’t want to pick just one thing to write about. I bought books and read so many articles about blogging.
This time, I finally stopped overthinking it or trying to keep up with what I see. That is the key to my consistency. I’m just doing it. I’m not looking followers. I’m not trying to make photos and videos look perfect. I’m just leaning into the realness which is what I’ve always wanted to do and I love it. This is my time and space to express myself.
Most of those previous blogs were not fashion/style blogs. I struggle with photos and videos of me all over the internet. There’s something vain about it and I’ll always struggle with that part of it. But it’s also somewhat frivolous and that’s what I think I’m enjoying most. I’m a very earnest person and frivolity is not usually my thing. I am certainly not without personality, but this is a way to lighten up.
The one thing that I’ve always promised is that I didn’t want to give people advice because you don’t need my advice. That continues to be true. I’m sharing my experiences with fashion and sharing my style.
Thus far, the only challenge I’ve run into is only writing about fashion and style. I have already had days where I feel like I don’t have anything to write about and have thought about expanding my subject. I just don’t want to do too much too soon so I’m stick to my single subject and see how far I go.
Frankly, I don’t have any expectations and I’m very pleased with what I’ve created so far. I’m looking forward to the next three, six months.
I always say if you have found me, welcome. If you have been enriched, you are welcome. Thanks for stopping by.
