New Year New You // Encouragement
Hey guys, Happy New Year!!! 🎉 This is my first post for 2019!! 🎉 Yall know I'm always saying something about following your dreams and to just take that first step. And i thought, what better time than RIGHT NOW, to encourage you more than I ever have before, to do that.
I started my blog about 3 1/2 years ago. I had no clue what to say or what my niche would be. Heck, I didn't even know what a niche was at the time! And to be completely honest, I was kinda embarrassed to post anything. I didnt tell anyone, not even my husband. I just posted it then shared it on Facebook. I had 1 post sitting in my drafts for weeks before I got up enough courage to publish it. And it probably got 6 views in total. I've changed the name about 🤔... 4 or 5 times before I settled on Krystal Blogs. And I'm still not sure if I even like that! 😃
After about 2 years of posting sporadically, and I mean like once a month maybe. Sometimes I'd go a couple months without anything. Then one day I was like, ok let's do this; I'm in it! And I began to take it seriously. I made it my "job". I set up a schedule and gave myself a deadline. I began to pray into my blog and pray into myself. I got a a notebook that was specifically for my ideas. So for a year and a half now I have not missed a Friday blog post! 😁 Not saying it was easy. Somedays I didnt wanna do it. Somedays I wanted to give up. Somedays I wanted to quit. But I loved it too much for that. And it's still not where I want it to be. I was actually hoping to have my own dot com at the start of this year, but I underestimated just how expensive that is.
But I say all that, to say this, whatever your dream is, DO IT! It will not come to pass if you do nothing. You have to make the first move. And you have to be consistant with it. So I just want to encourage you to step out. Take a leap of faith. Because once you get to the point where you just wanna do something so bad, even though you're scared, but its something that you really REALLY want, you just gotta do it!! And starting a blog was something that I wanted to do!
Before I sign off, I wanna leave you with some things to consider going into this next year.
1) Dont let the "what if's" of the future keep you from running the race.
2) Count your blessings.
3) Let go of what you cant control.

7) Take life day by day.
8) Spend more time with family.

15) Learn to cook a new recipe.

20) Put God first!
