This Week in my Garden

♥

My garden mirrors my life in many ways. These days find me in the process of making some changes. Getting ready to make a shift, shed some old skin, and focus on some new growth.

My little blogging break at the beginning of this month was a way for me to step back and think about this blog. Sometimes I get caught up in wondering why I spend so much time on blogging - what's it all for? And I question what I share here and if it's enough or too much.

 

Among the happy, uplifting posts about how awesome my life is and how grateful I am, there are muddled thoughts and some blue days. And I wonder if that makes me less authentic here on this blog space. At times I'll share a story that exposes my vulnerability and stretches my personal limits and I wonder if that's such a good idea. {Ooh...watch this awesome, awesome video...}

And then I step back, take a little blog break and dust myself off. I allow myself to embrace my human nature and I am reminded that every day is a new day. Every day is a new chance to do the best I can, and to find something, anything, to be grateful for. Every day is a chance for new direction and growth. And I realize that that's what this blog is for - a chance to encourage myself and my readers to keep smiling. To keep on keeping on!

 

My future holds some exciting things! Yoga is making a big presence in my life and I am loving my reconnection there. In the upcoming months I may be blogging less, so for those of you sweeties who look for me every day, you needn't worry if on a random Tuesday {or any given} morning you don't see a blog post from me. 

I'll just be over here, in my little corner of blogland,

tending to my garden and trusting the process.
