Becoming Selfish

My first blog post!
This blog has been an idea bouncing around my head for some time now. Although its culmination is the result of a recent conversation and a major kick to my own ass, it's been a long time coming. So my struggle with the first post is to try not to let it all out at once stream of consciousness-style. I'll pace myself. You're welcome.

I first mentioned starting a blog to a few close friends, my husband, and my mom. Almost everyone asked if it would be a Mommy blog. Even I figured that's what I would be writing about. After all, what else do I have anything to say about?

Um, A LOT of things!!! After thinking a bit more seriously, it began to bother me. Did I really feel like motherhood was the only thing I had to talk about? And that's when it really hit me. I had lost myself. Somewhere along the way of pregnancy, marriage and motherhood, I had been left behind.

This blog is my journey to find myself again. It's the beginning of a modern self-help, self-care regime. It is NOT a Mommy blog, although my girls will definitely be recurring characters. I am going to be selfish and by that I mean I'm going to take the time to focus on myself. My needs, my feelings and my happiness. I'm making a promise to myself and to my readers to focus inward and find my joy.

I hope you'll join me, and I hope you are inspired to search for your own inner spark!
