I published my first Blog on August 19, 2017. It was a short introduction to me. I was so nervous because all I knew was journaling. It was my very own self-therapy. It has always been effective and it only cost me a journal and some ink. I write about everything. Love, heartache and pain, betrayal and intimacy, motherhood and marriage, my adventures, my worries, and the list could go on. Nothing is off limits when I write… prayers, poems, or an open letter to a loved one. It’s a great way for me to express myself.
One day, a friend of mine was going through a tough time. I told her that I wanted to share something with her and just see if it would help. I shared a story similar to hers. She was surprised by an unplanned pregnancy. After reading my journal, she felt better. Over the years I encountered many others who needed advice. When I had a similar story, I would just go to my journal and share and it was helping. After a few years of doing this, my friend suggested I do a blog and that maybe I can help more people by sharing my journey.
After considering it for a while, I decided to take on this new challenge. Then I was faced with the dilemma of over vs under-sharing. After weeks and weeks of discussing it with my husband, I was able to find a happy medium. I would go through my journal and find an article about me that could help the people in my life. Those are the ones I would share with. Of course, let my hubby do a quick edit, and get his opinion as well.
Now it’s two months later and I am amazed by the response from my readers and the blogging community itself. My blogs have helped people and allowed them to reflect on their own lives. At times, I find myself in tears as I read through the comments. I’m constantly wowed at how my stories have touched people all around the world. It’s so awesome!
I get these constant emails about how many people I have reached so I decided to do a blogging update and share my updates with you all today in case anyone missed out.

Wow you’ve made remarkable progress in just two months lady! It’s incredible that you’re sharing so much with others and the best part is that it is all relatable!
I’ve been blogging for a while now.. three years almost and I don’t think I had quite as much success as you did at the start!
