A Fresh Start

Hello, world. 

It has been a while since I've written to you. Life is busy and crazy sometimes, isn't it? Over the course of this past year, I've spent a lot of time fighting with myself. I have this great vision for what I want my life to be. It includes my wonderful fiancé, purchasing our first home, planning our wedding, future children, a published novel, my own creative writing course and editing business, travelling, inspiring others and so much more. I mean the dream continues to grow every day!

I am so thankful to have these things to look forward to and to work towards. So when I say I've been fighting with myself, I mean that I want all of these things to come NOW. My patience is constantly being tested. Instead of focusing on one area, or even two, I've spent a lot of my time trying to focus on all of them.

Now, here's the thing: In order to achieve and cultivate success, you have to focus on it. Focus on what you want and put all of your efforts toward it. Of course, there is room for balance, because we know you have more than one thing in your life! But trying to tackle ALL of your dreams all at once might leave you drained and uninspired. At least it has with me.

So today I start fresh. I opened up my dry blog and here I start again. This blog helped me work through some really tough times in University. It helped me find my positive side and helped me grow. Writing always makes my soul happy and finding inspiring and positive things to write about is what I need in order to focus my life.

I have said this before and fallen through, but here's hoping I can live up to my promise. Books & Things is back! Stay tuned as I share with you how I get myself back on track and cultivate a life full of everything I want and love without getting stressed out about it.
