In Pursuit....

I started this blog as more of a stress reliever, just somewhere to say what I am thinking and feeling and I figured nobody but my mama would ever read it haha :) but I often have friends call me and say "Was today's blog post about/for me?!".
I think that is one of my favorite things about posting - hearing from you. I sit down and write out my thoughts, fears, stress, memorable moments....and more than likely I am going to hear from someone telling me they can relate.

That's what today's post is about - when I post 9/10 times I am preaching to the choir - me. I know this but It was recently brought to my attention from a friend who emailed me giving me examples from my blog of things I have said and ways that I have felt but how I maybe do not follow my own "advice". I know his intentions were for the best and that is exactly how they were taken, he was in no way being inconsiderate but instead he was holding me accountable - which we all need daily!
After reading his email (which, if you happen to read this, I promise I will reply to) I started thinking and looked back over a few of my post and found a recurring message...Be strong even when you think you are not able and do whatever it takes to be happy...whatever it takes. So obviously this tells me that I am not completely doing whatever it takes if I seem to post about how to do it so often!  I am not saying that I am not a happy person, I know without a doubt that I am blessed beyond what I should be, but I am saying that I could be happier if I were not "scared" to be!

So this is it - I am stepping out and doing what it takes...Just the thought of this is very nerve wracking, bittersweet, scary, safe, crazy, and so on but if all of those emotions add up to having what it takes then I am ready to face each of them! ( I can only imagine the upcoming emotion filled blog posts haha) This may take a week, month, or year/s but regardless I am going to stop letting the "What if's, coulda, shoulda, and woulda's" get in my way...life is too short even if I live to be 100 to have those!
Watch out world....I am finished just writing about it but I am taking action and stepping out in claim of my Pursuit of Happiness...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
