Reformatting (Life and the Blog)

As always, I'm evaluating and reevaluating my quality of life. I find it humbling and extremely healthy to continuously search for ways to grow, deepen, and make life more meaningful.

I recently graduated from college and with that came a change in the pace of my life. Now, four months after accepting that diploma I'm beginning to figure out what it is like to not live life a million miles a minute and slowly but surely I'm beginning to accept that lifestyle. I am also realizing that my creativity, as important as it is to my spirituality and health, has dwindled down to a nearly nonexistent state now that I am not in the midst of artistic projects.

As I process the way my life currently is versus how I desire it to be many emotions flood my heart and many ideas consume my mind. With that, I will begin the tedious process of reformatting many areas of my life. It will be a slow process, as I want these changes to be permanent and not just emotion-filled and short lived.

Additionally, I will be reformatting my blog. I started this as a creative and intentional outlet to live my life differently. I struggled, from day one, on what I really wanted this to be used for; social justice, my adventures, likes dislikes, etc. I know now, at least for the time being, that I need this blog to be about me. I'll be challenging myself to post five days a week. Most of my posts will be about daily experiences like my creative projects, Rose, my nutritional endeavors, work, adventures, and anything else I may feel like sharing that day. My hope is that through my journey you'll be inspired to live differently and to challenge yourself in new and creative ways.

What do you do to challenge yourself on a daily basis?

    1. Lex, you're so great. Thanks for the comment and encouragement. I'm so glad that we have randomly ended up in the same circle of do-gooders :) Who would have thought?!
