welcome to the journey

I love to write.

When I put pen to paper, it’s usually a mind dump. A time and a space to allow my thoughts to bubble to the surface. Calling to my attention. Sometimes loudly. Other times, a whisper.

Because writing is very personal, it caused me to shy away from sharing my thoughts on a daily basis. Pressure to perform created a senario where I lost the joy of penning—and sharing, my daily thoughts.

My mind conversations.

The struggles.

The prayers.

The REAL me. Unscripted.

I lost the want to show my family, my friends, my social media tribe, my inner dialogue, but being true to myself, I am compelled to share.

Words are powerful.

Sometimes they're just a reminder. A little nudge that we aren’t the only ones who drive themselves crazy with the cycle of their own thoughts.

So rather than throw in the towel with sharing my personal journey, I have decided to choose random days out of my journal. Removing that pressure I placed on myself.

My hope is that my sharing resonates. That it makes you feel like you are not alone. That it makes you feel like you can do hard things. Because, sometimes those hard things are just going through the ritual of living. However that looks.

Lastly, if I could say one thing—press pause when needed, but begin again.

It’s gonna be okay, ❤️Erin Leanne
