All about … this Blog

So what’s this all about?

Well, that’s a good question. The intention behind this blog is to create an outlet, a community, to discuss human growth. Not physical growth, but soul growth. That’s a ridiculously broad topic, I know. Everything in our lives helps us grow and develop as people, if we let them. From our families, friends, teachers, leaders, communities, experiences and faith, they all impact us daily.

I don’t consider myself to be any type of decent writer, or blogger. This isn’t some longstanding dream of blogging my way into fame. In fact, the only writing I’ve ever done is some scribbling in a journal from time to time. But what I do have, is a voice. These blogs will highlight my experiences with the hope that even if one person, can identify with and utilise my learning’s in their own lives, and on their own growth journey, then I call that success. My experiences are characteristically female, however I’ll try to keep the bra burning feminism in balance, so men and women alike can relate.

So, a little about me. I’m an early-30’s woman, trying to find my way in the corporate world. In the workplace (and in life), I’ve struggled with confidence, controlling my emotions and understanding the importance of and difference between my IQ vs EQ. I’m a born and bred country girl, who loves the city lifestyle. I grew up without religion but am finding my own spiritual path. Like all of us, I have dark and light shades, which I’m endlessly discovering and working to accept. All these things, and many many more, I see as the basis of who I am. Although we are all unique, with different learning opportunities; we all have the ability to grow and better ourselves every single day.

So, welcome to my journey.
