Aha! I Have to Start a Blog!

                          (View from my recent Port Townsend beach house retreat. So good for my soul!)

I recently left my corporate PR job at a really big amazing coffee company to spend more time with my daughter and to figure out what I want to do next – what feeds my soul. While on a walk this morning (by myself), I was struggling with a professional decision and a potential personal decision. My mind was full – it hurt, I felt anxious.  I made a decision to stop thinking about the decisions and to enjoy my walk.  The sun was shining in my face – I was following it, soaking up the Vitamin D that I need so badly.  I let my mind go and the idea for this blog literally popped into my mind. I had an Aha moment.  I never imagined writing a blog. But it became evident quickly that this is something I couldn’t not do. (Proper grammar: I had to do it!) I walked fast to get home to start writing.  

So, here are some of the things that came to mind immediately that I plan to cover in this blog, as long as they continue to feed my soul.
·         Going for a walk – BY MYSELF
·         Family
·         Friends – old and new
·         Flowers
·         Riding my bike
·         Flying a kite
·         Travel – near and far
·         Paris
·         Cards – in my mailbox
·         Creative People
·         Entertaining – and being entertained
·         Amazing Women
·         Giving and receiving
·         Color – especially orange, but I am not exclusive
·         Cool Products for a Cause
·         Dancing
·         Good Books
·         Good Magazines
·         Going to Church
·         My Morning Devotional
·         Neighborhood Restaurants (favs: Volunteer Park Café, Café Lago)
·         My Friends’ Blogs
·         Changing Seasons
·         Lake Tahoe
·         The Arboretum
·         The Wine Guy (will explain later!)
·         Bluebirds
I’d love to hear from you what feeds your soul, too.
xoxo,
Amy

  2. Honest truth is that people like you feed my soul. People who take a leap of faith and chase their dreams...
