I originally started this blog because I wanted to share my journey of healing. Well that journey didn't really go as planned, so I stopped blogging.
But the problem is that I love writing. It's an outlet for me. I didn't think I was all that creative except for writing, and even my writing was feeling stifled. Recently I have started creating a lot more than just words. I built my first piece of furniture, I started refinishing furniture and creative accessories for my home. Things that I would never have dreamed that I would get involved in. And guess what, it is extremely therapeutic for me.
So now, I am steering my blog into a new direction. I am still going to share my journey to healing, but I am going to share my journey through my projects and crafts. There is nothing like getting lost in an old piece of furniture and emerging with something new and amazing. I get a sense of accomplishment and a huge dose of self esteem. I don't have to wait for everyone else around me to do the things I am scared of doing. This is a safe way for me to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. And if it doesn't work, I can start all over again!
I can't even begin to explain how it feels to not only start a project (something I am very good at), but to FINISH that project (something I am horrible at) and proudly display it in my home. It is taking me a little longer to actually finish them, but they are actually getting finished. And I am sure with some perseverance in finishing my projects one by one, it will get easier and I will get faster.
I will be posting my finished projects and quick tutorials very soon. And as for my new projects, from here on out, I will make sure I take all sorts of pictures with more detailed tutorials so you all can join me on my journey.
