It’s 12 midnight and I am up writing this blog post. Is it possible to be so tired that you take a nap at 9 at night because you still have things to do and can’t go to bed yet? This is my life right now. I work full time, have a 10 month old baby and the daily struggle of trying to figure out, “whats for dinner?” I know some of you can relate. Life goes by so fast and quickly, you struggle to find time to get things done sometimes. When I decided to start a blog, I thought, “am I going to have time for it?” I knew it was something I really desired to do, but did not want to fail at it if I could not be consistent. Well, I am only a few months into blogging and I couldn’t be happier to be up at midnight writing this post.
Blogging is something I really enjoy. It’s a creative outlet for me to do something different outside of my 9-5. The key word is that I enjoy this! You make time for things you like to do and I am learning that this is one of those things. If nobody else reads my blog, I know that I am still happy to create looks and throw them out to the universe and say that I did it! I don’t worry too much about page views or if people will like the outfits I put together because I am passionate about doing this and I love it. I wish I started blogging earlier if I knew what happiness it would bring me.
Is there anything that you have in your mind that you want to do, but haven’t put any action towards doing it?? I implore you to hop to it! Get out of your own way and make it happen! What’s important is to do what is on your heart with the comfort of not questioning yourself and thinking, “what if?!” There is nothing like perfect timing and with a little prayer and planning, things will fall in line. So I challenge you, we have plenty of time left in 2015, whatever it is on your “things to do” list, or “I wish I could” list, DO IT!!! What do you have to lose?!

First and foremost, I love this dress. Secondly, thank you for the motivation. You are doing an amazing job balancing all of your demands. I still can't believe your doll baby is 10 months!!! I have been putting off completing a book I've been working on for some time now. Your post reminded me that as women we wear many hats, but the best accessory we can wear with those hats is our passion. Thanks for the gentle nudge. Keep up the amazing work and know that you have at least one committed subscriber. God Bless.
Your comment made my day!!! I wrote this post mainly as encouragement for myself and its great to see its motivating others as well. It's your season to write that book! NOW is the time! I'm excited what joy and comfort this will bring to you!!!
Well, I'm not a mommy yet but I can definitely understand the weariness a '9-5' can bring. I left a organization that I had been with for years because I was not appreciated, and one day or rather one early morning at midnight I decided to start my own blog. It has been over a year and I am still learning the dos and don'ts but like you, I am glad that I started it. It is my outlet and my only issue is finding the time to make sure that I am consistent, but I will make the time. You look great in the dress btw. Plus, I really like those shoes.
Best,
