The Return of Me (Maybe)

This site started off with gusto and with intention, however life has also ebbed and flowed and I honestly have not been able to give it a lot of attention. When I started this site, the intention was to provide help in the form of resources for people looking for help in their local area. Each year since its inception, I got bogged down by the technical aspects of learning the technical back end of WordPress, Google and everything technical associated with this site. Also work got in the way and then life definitely threw me a curveball last year in the form of breast cancer (that will be another blog). And each year, when this site comes up for renewal I question why I still hold on to it. But something out there tells me to just hold on a little bit more. So here I am again, attempting to restart where my intention was a few years ago. Maybe it’s a comeback, a renewed effort. Maybe it’s that stubbornness of having started something, invested time and wanting to see it through because I really think it can add good to the world.

So this blog is about getting that intuitive nagging from within that tells you to do something you so want to avoid. But recognizing that what you may be avoiding may in fact be what you are needing to grow. This website project is my achilles heel. It’s the work my heart wanted to do but my body and mind wants to avoid it because it involves so much learning beyond my comfort zone. However when I sit here and write this blog, it is somewhat cathartic and I am reminded this was a way for me to connect with the outside world. Who knows if anyone is reading this as I have yet to figure out SEO optimization…BUT here I am after many months away and I am going to give it another try. I am learning the definition of resilience is in the trying when you are beaten down, the hope in achieving success after many failed attempts and that the only way forward is to take one step at a time.

So here is my one step for today. Yay me!
