“Maybe”

Hey there friends :)

I’m not a writer. Never have been, never expected to be. I always thought it was because I just didn’t like it, wasn’t good at it, or had trouble cognitively with it. But since starting a new form of therapy recently, I realized…

• Maybe my perfectionism has something to do with it, and my need to get things “right” the first time and not make mistakes.

• Maybe it has something to do with my fear of judgment from readers and the vulnerability that comes with putting yourself and your story out there.

• Maybe my fear of failing has been stopping me from following my values and taking steps towards a goal that has deep, personal meaning for me.

• And, just maybe, it's time to challenge those old beliefs and pathways in my mind and build new pathways instead that lead me towards healing myself and helping others.

So, with that, welcome to my blog at Always Growing, Always Enough. I’m going to write like I’m talking to a friend and in ways that work with my brain (aka - don’t expect excellent grammar or academic writing here :) I hope this is a space that is safe and full of opportunities for healing and growth. 

• Maybe we can learn something new together.

• Maybe I can share some of what I’ve learned over the last decade or so of various therapies and it can help someone else in their journey.

• Maybe it’s a place to make space for the pain, grief, joy, and wonder we can feel through the ups and downs in life. 

• Maybe we work on breaking some stigmas about mental health, chronic illness, and disability while we’re at it too. 

Regardless, thank you for reading and joining me here as I lean into my anxieties and take the leap to run this blog and see what happens!
