Deciding to Heal: Mega Priority.

I am so new to this blog thing and I have so much to learn! I've been writing for years in various forms,  but aside from my songs, most of my writing has stayed very private. There's something so different about writing for people that I feel it's going to be quite a process for me to find my voice and style for Grace and Janiper. (So, I guess it's a good thing that no one actually knows this exists yet!)

I have been reading some amazing blogs and feeling so inspired by them.  I wonder if, through the numerous blogs I peruse a day, I will find myself?  I hope so. Does that seem silly? Have you seen how much beauty and truth there is blogging? I want to become a really great blogger, I'm not sure why, but more importantly, I want to become my very best self.  one day, one night and one blog post at a time.

A few weeks ago, my friend Nadyne excitedly told me that I should check out 'A Blog About Love' and I did.  And I instantly became a big ol' fan.  today I have a deep crush on this post.  

When I read that post from Mara on A Blog about Love, I experienced first-hand what a good blog does. Like that scene from When Harry Met Sally her post made me think: "I'll have what she's having."

With one tiny little blog post she made me realize something I've been putting off for 10 years.

That if I want to heal emotionally, I need to first allow myself to heal physically. I say allow because over the last 4 years I have struggled with health issues that I created myself and I am so tired of it.  The problem is that I know what I can do to fix it - once I make this one little change, my body will begin to heal.  But I keep choosing the thing that hurts me, because it brings me comfort, because it's what I'm used to, but mostly, because it's easy.

Right here, Right now, starting this very second, I am vowing to you all (well ok, nobody, yet, but let a girl manifest...) that I am going to do the one thing that I've put off far too long.  I am going to Heal. my. body.

This won't be a health blog, I'm pretty sure.  But there may be recipes.
This will be a blog about embarking on a new journey.
This will be a blog about pursuing what scares you most.
This will be a blog about spirituality and the search for understanding.
This will be a blog about love.

so much love,

Tasha
