Have you ever felt a nudge to do something? Not just a one-time thought but a persistent, won’t-leave-you-alone type of nudge? This has been happening to me since January about this blog space that I have. It gets brought to the forefront of my brain at least once a day. I pay for this domain to stay mine, so when the emails started rolling in about the renewal fee being charged in January, it jolted my memory that Oh Yeah! I have this online space just waiting around for me. That’s what got the whole idea turning over and over in my mind. Then one night in the bathroom at the Flora-Bama of all places, a friend told me that I should write. (She was talking about a book, but that is an idea to ponder for another day…like a day 10 years down the road.) But I heard that come out of her mouth and thought, whoa! I’ve been thinking about this blog for a full month now and she says this…ok, I’m listening.
If God has taught me anything about nudges in the past, it’s that I should definitely pay attention to them. So here I am…being obedient to a nudge that won’t go away.
Last year was not a particularly great year for creativity. We had a lot going on, and even when I would have an idea for a blog post, I just pushed it aside or tackled it on Instagram. That’s where I spend most of my time online and is my preferred social platform.
I think I have missed being creative and here’s how I know. This year alone I’ve already crafted a door hanger, thrown a themed party, and I’m already starting to plan the menu for Oscar Night in two weeks. Oscar Night is just a party for one (me), but my husband reaps the benefits of a special, celebratory meal. The point is, I’ve jumped head first into creating because I’m kind of starved of it.
Enter the nagging thoughts about the blog. In the past I’ve shared book reviews, outfits and where to buy them, things I’ve bought, recipes I’ve loved, general thoughts on life, tutorials, crafts, home projects, and more. And you can be sure to continue to find all that here in the future. Who knows what other topics we’ll tackle? I’m just excited to find out.
As I said at the top of the post, I’m just following a nudge. I feel like getting back to this site is something I have to do. I have no posting schedule mapped out. I’m just going with the flow and following the nudges that come my way. Want to follow along? Enter your email address in the box at the top of the screen. I will send you an email with a link to each new blog post as soon as it’s published. You can also follow along on Instagram where I’ll be sharing in stories and probably in feed as well. I also have a Facebook page, and I promise to try to be more consistent with that as well. I tend to forget about the Facebook page. But I will be better about sharing there- at least for a while. 😉
If there’s anything you want to see from me, drop a comment below and let me know. I’ve got some ideas swirling around in my head, but if you’ve got some specific ideas, I’d love to hear them and see where they take us.
‘Til next time.
