13 Reasons Why
Here is 13 reasons why I am sharing my life with you...
1. SELF-CARE
Most importantly I am doing this for ME! Journaling is one of the most powerful forms of self-care. This "Tru Life" blog is my new journal. Blogging will require me to be consistent with putting feelings into words, experiences into lessons and purpose into action.
2. TELL MY STORY
The experiences I have had over the past 25 years have left me with a lot of stories to tell. I have learned some quite interesting things about life; well at least I think they are interesting. And I am laying them out on my blog just for you.
3. INDULGE IN MY DREAM
If you know me personally, I am sure you have heard me say that my goal in life is to be housewife. My degrees were just my back up plan! I am a true believer that you should STAY READY for the position you want and not the one you have. So as I sip my coffee and write this blog post from the comfort of my pjs… I am staying ready for the day my rich husband finds me and supports my dream of being a blogging housewife.
4. SHARE MY TRAVELS
Dr. Seuss said it best, "Oh the places you'll go". So I speak that over my life; I am going places… so stay tune! Traveling makes my soul happy. I have a LONG bucket list of places I must see in this life time. So I am looking forward to sharing some of my past travels with you, as well as, take you along for some new adventures!
5. LET GO OF FEAR
I was serious when I said NO MORE FEAR. Everything I have been afraid to do, I plan to do. And once I do these things, I will share them with you here on the blog! I am sure I will have some failures and some successes because that is just how life works. So let's all learn, grow and reach our ultimate potential before it too late.
6. LET MY SOUL SING
Music speaks to my soul. After those long stressful days, it is normally music that I turn to in hopes of easing the pain, healing the scars, or empowering the mind. My playlist have gotten me through some rough times! So join me as I sing my soul out, and maybe you will find some lyrics that will help your soul sing too.
7. FIND THE BEAUTY
We all have bad days, bad experiences and bad memories, but it is up to us to find the beauty in all things. It is my goals to help others understanding that everything happens for a reason (EHFAR). Whether that reason be a blessing or a lesson… there is beauty! We just have to find it.
8. EAT A BUNCH OF FOOD
Nicki Minaj said it best, "He can tell I ain't messing no meals." lol Just as much as I love to eat, I also love to cook. I have a few recipes that will change your life. Trust me when I say, Food Network ain't got nothing one me! So I plan to cook a few of those recipes and share them with you.
9. JUST RELATE
Why is it that we think we are the only one going through stuff in life? We tell ourselves that we are the only person that attracts stupid guys, the only person that cannot lose weight, the only person with low-self esteem… Lies! My blog will show you that we all can relate in some way! We just have to make the decision to be true to ourselves.
10. MOTIVATE THE NEXT GIRL
Seeing other successful woman walk in their truth is one of the things that motivated me to be tru to myself. As woman we must stop with the competition and learn to EMPOWER one another. I hope that something I say or do here will motivate you to discover your own truth and motivate other women connected to you!
11. SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT
This world tell us so much about who we should be, how we should look and how we should act, but those are the things that are really stripping us of our true identity. Join me as I confront this world that continually tries to rid us of our authenticity.
12. BE THE CHANGE
Gandhi said "Be the change you want to see in the world". It is my goal to live by this. In order to make a difference in the world, I must first make a difference in myself. As scary as this may be, I am working hard to make changes within me, and I am inviting you to come along for the ride!
13. STAY TRU
Everyone is human! I just want to stay tru to the human God created me to be. It's so easy to loose ourselves in this world. Hell, I still feel like I'm finding myself "shrugs". So let's just have fun, stay TRU and figure this thing called life out together.
