Today I did a thing. I’d been working up the courage to start writing again and finally took the step to log into my account. It seems, however, that the gods felt like testing me because what started as a simple “let’s go look up that blog I started one time” turned into a thirty-five minute detour as I tried to edit the elusive About Me section.

Seriously, I just wanted a new photo!

Let’s get something out there. Me + technology = failure. More specifically, Me + Technology = throw my phone out a window, curl up on the couch and nap to forget everything that just  happened.
But behold, ye of little faith, I sit here triumphantly! After google searches, scavenging my photo library, and figuring out how to sum my existence up in a few words, here we are.
It’s a small accomplishment in the scale of life, but for me, it’s Huge. It means I walked towards the uncomfortable and stayed there when it got even more challenging. I didn’t listen to the voices that told me that none of this would matter, that I had nothing important to offer. I sat here with Ruckus (refer to adorable dog picture up top) by my side and opened up a new chapter for myself. I have no idea where I’m going, I just know that I’m going to share all the strange wonderful things that I try to do and the random thoughts that run through my mind while trying to find joy. Hopefully my honesty brings laughter to someone who needs it. We can all use a few more smiles, don’t you think?
Is there something you’ve been wanting to find courage to do? Don’t be afraid, I’m cheering for you!
