Something Like Writer's Block

I am sure you already know what it can be like to get motivated to do things when you are struggling emotionally, physically, or mentally. However, it is something about those times that should really force us to keep pushing because its the pushing through that helps pull of out of our slump. I am personally going through that now. Now that I have admitted that, I am one step closer to getting out of it?

What is your slump today?

I have a desire to chance my own course and I know it is possible for you to do as well. Sometimes small steps can take you a long way. So, here are the steps I plan to make this week! See if any of these hit home with you. Some of them are small, but at least they are something!

1. Write at least one post over at Missionary Manda's Musings.(I have been neglecting it for too log and I have to get back on board!)
2. Bake some cookies and muffins for my husband and kids. (I am on a strict diet and I can not have either, so my family has been suffering. lol)
3. Fold at least two baskets of laundry. (Can you tell that my house is a mess!)
4. Repaint my finger nails.
5. Go to the gym 3x this week.
6. Read some of the book for the book club that it about to start at work. (Don't tell everyone that I am behind.)

I think six things are a good start. Getting past a slump doesn't take big. lengthy, or even painful steps. It just takes doing something. 

I would love to hear your tip, tricks, and ideas for getting out of a slump. I would also like to encourage you if you are going through one right now. I am here for you and if you need me you can email or comment any time!

Motivational Changes

I'm excited to tell everyone how my trip to Bloggy Conference 2014 was. I am also totally pumped to start making some changes in and around my blog. As for my discussion point, today I would like to talk about one of such changes I plan on making.

Over the past few years you all have been with me through fashions changes, births, emotional ups and downs, and everything in between. The purpose of my blog has always been more of a journey to self discovery. Although I don't see that purpose ever changing, I do see updated it so it can better serve you all as my readers.

It is my intention to motivate and inspire each and every reader with this blog. Whether it is to to pursue your passion for cooking or to be bold and take chances, I want my experiences to encourage to find yourself and follow your dreams. I want every recipe to make you start thinking and getting creative with your own meals. I want my style and beauty posts to convey that fashion is for everyone. I want to break the walls that keep others from wearing what they love and expressing themselves. I want my life stories to big hope, encouragement, laughter, or at least help someone to remember that they are not alone. I want my journey to self discovery to be yours as well. I want to motivate you. I want to encourage you. I want see others grow.

Over the next few weeks you will begin to see some changes in my description, about me, and post feeling. I will try to remember my goal in of inspiring others throughout my journey. I encourage you to leave a comment or send me an email. Tell me how I can encourage you. Tell me what you as my readers really want to explore with me. This is not a solo journey. You have always been along for the ride, I'm just asking you to take it to the next level.

I love each and every one of you. I feel blessed to have so many people even care about what my voice has to say. I want to make a conscious effort to bring you into my world a little more!
