I have been tinkering with this blog for almost 3 years now. It has become a dear friend and trusted confidant. Over the years it has allowed me to express myself in ways I hadn’t known possible. A little while ago, I entered a blogging competition and honestly had zero expectations. I am shocked, amazed and humbled beyond belief to have made it to the final in the health and wellness category. Thank you to everyone who has visited the blog since it started. You guys are awesome.
I can’t help but remember back to when it was just an idea. I had thought about it for so long. Hmming and hawing, second guessing and procrastinating. I worried so much about how it would be received. What would people say? What would they think? I can’t speak to what they might be thinking, but as of yet I have not received any negative feedback. I was prepared for trolls, but they have remained under their bridges up till now anyway!
Recently, my sister and I started a Podcast. As always when I take on a new project, I was filled with trepidation and fear. Imagining every eventuality and doing a fair amount of catastrophizing. As I write this, we have two episodes aired. A new episode will drop every Monday. Naturally we have experienced some teething problems and are learning A LOT. The learning curve is a steep one, but not insurmountable. Astonishingly, nothing catastrophic has befallen us so far. I am usually a solo flier, and it has been so nice to have my sister on this adventure with me. My brother is producing the show for us, so it’s pretty much a family affair.
The Podcast is in a similar vein to the blog. We talk about health, fitness and lifestyle and try to get to the truth behind some of the myths. We also talk about food a lot, and anything else we stumble across. It is all done with the honesty you have come to expect from me. We are on all the major platforms. I would love you to check it out, Fitty and Fatty
That’s enough of the shameless self promotion.
What I really wanted to say in this post is that incredible things do happen. If you put yourself out there and take a chance. Opportunity does knock, but only if you leave the porch light on. If there’s something you have been wanting to do for ages, please go and do it. If it doesn’t work out, so what? If it does, who knows where it could take you! And if you end up being up for an award, please let me know. Be well xxx
PS. For anyone looking for an update on Scroll Free September. It has been going well. I am not struggling at all really. This blog automagically uploads to the Facebook page, so I promise I haven’t been cheating.
