I have always been the shy, reserved girl that sits in the back of the room and leaves as soon as she can. Over the years, I have really come out of my shell and evolved into a more outgoing and outspoken person. I think the thing that has helped me the most was finding a job that I enjoy going to everyday and feeling like I have a purpose. It has made me more comfortable and more confident.

I never thought that I would be in my late twenties, starting a blog, and letting a ton of people into my life. I have always struggled with self-doubt for as long as I can remember. Everyone was always better and prettier than me. Why should I even try? That led me to settling for a lot of my life. I never pushed or challenged myself to do something that would bring me happiness.

When people have asked me what my hobbies are, I never really know what to say. Baking? Working out? Going to high school sporting events? For some reason this question has bothered me the most. It made me feel inadequate because I didn’t have an answer. I’ve always looked at other people who are successful and envied them. I have even gone as far as telling myself that I will never be successful. I would think that I will just be a teacher for the rest of my life and watch my husband take all of the success. I am not saying that teaching is an easy job but I also knew that I wanted to be more. I want to be more for my son and for myself.

One thing you should know is that I am just a normal person. I was raised to work hard for what you want and taught that nothing in life is handed to you. This blog has allowed me to create something that is completely my own while encouraging myself to be independent and help me grow as a person. I do have doubts that I will let people down, or they will be disappointed at what I post, but success doesn’t come without fear.

So with all that being said, starting this journey has really become something that I am proud of. I know it has only been a month, but I am proud of the leap of faith that I have taken and I am excited for the challenges that it will bring in the future. I created this space to share my journey as a coach’s wife but also to share outfits and pieces that people can afford. Not everything I post will be everyone’s cup of tea and that’s okay. I want to be able to be honest with my readers and show my own personal style.

In the past writing has never been something that has come easy to me. Maybe it’s because I don’t have the pressure of my work being graded. This allows me to write about whatever I want and be carefree. My writing won’t be perfect, but you can guarantee that it comes from the heart and will be something I am passionate about. I am able to write about whatever I want and it has proven to be easier than I thought.

The adrenaline rush I get when writing posts is something that I have never experienced before. Maybe it’s the excitement of something new, but I am really enjoying just having a place to share my thoughts and things that I love. This blog is for me but also for you. I want to provide a space to be creative, write out some thoughts, and connect with others. So thank you to those that have supported me this past month! It means more to me than you will ever know!
