And Away We Go - Grit & Grace
Well, here I go. This is it. This is the beginning of yet another blog. It might be terrific. It might also be terrible. It is definitely incredibly terrifying. Regardless, I’m pretty sure it’s also going to be magical. And the only way to find the magic is to start writing, so here we go.
Would it shock you to know that I have had this site since January of this year? Almost five months have gone by. I’ve been busy: waiting, planning, researching, getting distracted, and trying to get things just right before I started. What blog format do I want? Should I go with a more traditional site? How often should I write? What font style should I pick? Who is my target audience? What should my first post be about?
Asking questions before undertaking a new task is not necessarily a bad thing. I know that for me, the paralysis of analysis is often the culprit for not doing that next thing I know I need to do. Old habits are hard to break, so postponing the official launch of this blog until I had everything “just right” was a well-worn path and trap I easily fell into. My steps may be clearly marked out for me, but fear and a desire to control all. the. things. makes it hard to see clearly on my journey.
So here is my attempt at NOT trying to craft a perfect blog launch post. I hope you find encouragement to run your race here. Here’s the next step in my journey…
The journey of a recovering perfectionist.
The journey of a recovering people-pleaser.
A journey marked with grit and grace.
