Coming soon!
Hi Everyone,
I’m so excited about this blog. Slowly but surely, I’m figuring out more and more what I want this blog to be about. I received some really good feedback about a post yesterday. It was critical feedback, but helped me really think about what I want this site to be about. I changed the title from “Calling All to Live, Calling All to love” to “Time to make a positive change.” Although my life is all about living and loving, what this blog is about is making changes in our lives. I’ve made a significant change in my life to leave the abuse I was experiencing and with that opened up this whole new journey of discovering myself.
I’ve realized I missed out so much on life, so I had to get to know myself: who I really am, who I want to be, what I like and don’t like. Most relevent to this blog is that I’ve had to face some hard truths about who I’ve become. Because of the abuse, I became angry, manipulative, insecure, controlling, etc etc. the list goes on. I’ve had to face the negative truths about myself and boy that was not fun.
I didn’t want to admit that I had all these flaws. I also didn’t want to blame my abuser for all this, besides I don’t gain anything by blaming my abuser. (That doesn’t mean I’ve excused my abuser of what they did.) I had to take responsibility for the person I’ve become. I’ve had to take responsibility for all the good and all the bad. I’ve done this because the only way I can change is if I’ve taken control of my life.
Long story short, this blog is going to be about exposing the hard truths about yourself and making steps to change. It seems really hard, but when you get going, making positive changes will become an obsession of yours. It has become an obsession of mine! It’s really fun, very rewarding, and of course not easy. Please note, I did start all my changing with a professional therapist, but I do feel you can do a lot of work on your own too. Don’t be stubborn to seek for help if it’s becoming too much for you.
Love ya! And take care!
