This last year has been monumental. I’ve made so many changes in my life, and though it’s bitter sweet, this is my last blog entry for A Woman’s Worth; and my first blog post for my new blog/website, Getting off the Porch. I started A Woman’s Worth blog in 2009. Almost 6 years ago! It became my refuge. The place I retreated when the words of my heart were burning through my soul. My very first entry was titled, A Woman’s Worth. It was that very first entry where my journey began. It is in that first entry that I began to question my worthiness, and started taking my first steps toward my authenticity. From that very first entry to the one I’m writing now, I was able to share my heart, my stories, my pain, my joy, my past, and my present. It’s been a long journey, with many bumps and bruises along the way, but this leg of the journey has come to a phenomenal end. It has come to an end because my purpose, my vision, and my passion were birthed on the pages of A Woman’s Worth, and many of you who have shared your thoughts and stories with me have inspired me to start a new endeavor.
One of the biggest breakthroughs for me came after writing the entry titled, Getting off the Porch. Through writing that entry, I discovered some of my biggest fears, and I got the courage to face them. In facing them, the picture of my life changed tremendously, but my biggest fear never came to fruition. I didn’t crumble. I am still standing and I am clear, strong, and I am at peace with myself and my life. That was huge for me. I not only didn’t crumble, but I learned that there is so much power in being honest with yourself and the people you love most. This new power, excitement for life, and desire to touch people has pushed me into following my passion as a writer and professional Life Coach.
