… and never give up!

Even after enduring so many computer crashes and technical difficulties while preparing pictures for this post.  I had my mind set on publishing a post today from last night and I decided to do it no matter the cost. I am happy to announce that I won! The machine lost.

While reading and browsing my favorite blogs I took a peek of Gala`s blog. Since she is such an inspiring person there is a lot to be read, but to me, two posts were of significance. One about mercury retrograde (explains a lot of my troubles from earlier today) that helped me to understand the world around me a little better so I could adjust myself to stress accordingly. The other one inspired the tone of this post.

I am totally and absolutely caught up in analysis paralysis. From head to toe and about everything I do. And because of that I decided to go crazy and just write. Just publish this post that will be just one of many, and probably seem silly in few months. But as Gala says “Just begin”.

Since I have been out and about the blogosphere for almost a decade, and although I never had a blog this personal and focused on writing and expressing yourself through more than pretty pictures (and in English for that fact!), I have spent a lot of time reading other blogg(er)s and couldn`t help myself not to focus on design first. Now when that is all set (it was easy-peasy this time, surprise!) I need to let go and just begin.

Thank you again Gala for encouraging and inspiring. Thank you world for being so wonderful and full of opportunities.

Love,
A.

Hello!
Welcome to "Bring your own disco ball" blog.

First times are always a bit awkward  and although I have written my first blog post ever in 2004, and had several different blogs in this past (almost a) decade, I really feel a bit overwhelmed. With a hint of stage fright. Its like writing a super important speech for a great audience.

Yes, I am nervous. But, I have decided it is time to embark on this journey called lifestyle on line diary. Who knows where this will take me. I am sure I will meet so many wonderful and inspiring people.

I have been contemplating the idea of creating this kind of blog for a while, feeling excited while setting all this up. Its like buying a new (paper) diary, cracking it open and preparing to embellish the first page with your most inspiring words in your best hand writing.  Getting some flashbacks, right?

After browsing the web for some inspiration for my first post I have found an article that suggested to unplug and just be one with yourself, pen and paper, no gadgets of any kind. Just you and your thoughts. Leave it all behind you and pour it all out. At the time I was at work and couldn't wait to get home to be in my safe place all alone. It turned out to be just the thing I needed. I re-wrote and rebuild the blog and the post.

I think this is it. This can go live.

While doing my daily reading and browsing interesting and inspiring people, I found an amazing post with a great title that became my blog name. Thank you Gala. I hope this little diary of mine will live up to its inspiration.

Can't wait to see this project grow and develop into something I can be proud of. Wish me luck.

Don't forget to bring your own disco ball <3
