Hi there! My name is Holly, and welcome to my blog. 🙂 I’m a wife, dog mom, caregiver, and brand new blogger/social media amateur. Pretty basic, I know, and I won’t claim to be anything more than your average human. Plus, as an introverted-introvert, this is nerve-racking, so be kind!
PERSONAL GOALS FOR THE BLOG
To build a sense of community and go out of my comfort zone. No one ever grows without trying new things! Hence my blog’s motto: “Dare to live the life you’ve always dreamed of”. FYI – get used to quotes because I like them a lot.
To hold myself accountable for sticking with a job/career/side hustle. I’ve always held jobs to pay the bills, and at one point pursued a nursing career which quickly fizzled out (nursing is not for the weak), but I’ve never really pursued something because I truly enjoyed it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m aware that there’s a reason they call it “work” and bills don’t pay themselves – but it wouldn’t hurt me at all if I could have some fun along the way!
To discover the passions that light my soul on fire. October ’24 will make for 12 years of knowing my loving husband, and for those past dozen years, the most uncomfortable question he’s ever asked me is “what are your hobbies?” Why, you ask? Because I felt like I couldn’t ever answer him.
To pursue holistic wellness and inspire hope – physical, mental, emotional, spiritual. That old cliche saying “You can’t pour from an empty cup” rings too true, and I’ve learned that the hard way through years of burnout. What I have discovered is that it’s not selfish to take care of yourself. In fact, it’s downright essential in order for you to keep going and giving. It’s not easy, but it will always be worth it.
I’ll be sharing my journey and any helpful tips & tricks I learn along the way. Stay tuned! 🙂
