I am excited to participate in the post prompt for today from The Blended Blog. It’s re-introduction time. Getting to share a little about myself in a re-intro gives me the opportunity to reflect on where I’ve been as a blogger and where I now.
I started this blog to develop my style. I also wanted to curb my shopping and maybe have a capsule wardrobe. Another vision I had for this was to share my life and faith. Have I done those things, I asked myself? Well, sort of but I haven’t quite developed my blog in the manner that I have a vision for it in the beginning. It’s a work in process and changes as life changes.
A little about me: Currently, I’m 54 years old. It’s hard for me to believe that number because I don’t feel that age at all. I love fitness and being challenged but lately, it’s been a struggle for me. No worries, I will get it together because being fit is a lifestyle I love. That leads to the truth that I like to eat healthy too. Don’t get me wrong though - I’ve never met a cookie I didn’t like. I enjoy reading and conversations over coffee. I can definitely come on too strong because deep connects are where it’s at for me. I’ve been told I have lots of words. I would agree with that completely. I’m married and it will be 24 years in October. I have one grown and moved away from home daughter. One cat and recently we added a puppy. I’m a former teacher and now work as an Admin Asst {no further comment on that is needed}. Let’s go to this thing I’ll call a blogging adventure.
Style. That’s what got me into blogging. One of the first blogs I found was Greater than Rubies. I did several remix challenges with Caitlin. That’s how I met my longest blogging friend, Whitney {Whitney ‘a La Mode}. Not too long after those challenges, I found Get Your Pretty On and the wheels were set in motion to meet many of the fabulous ladies who make up The Blended Blog.
A few looks from the first Spring Style Challenge with Get Your Pretty On.
I learned a few things: I can wear bright-colored pants and white ones too. Sometimes thrifting is a great option. Maxi skirts are fabulous and scarves make a great accessory. All those things happened 4 years ago. And style-wise I’ve been a little lost or I might say disinterested lately, but I think that’s about to change because I’m going to participate in a little beta launch university to overhaul my closet and give me some one-on-one help. More to come on that one.
Sometimes I share about fitness and food. I’m passionate about those things but I don’t write too about it that often. I think that needs to change this year. Always take a selfie to document your journey and your sweat, of course.
I’ve started writing about books I’ve read and those posts get me excited. I’m really into books lately. You can read those posts here.
Sharing my faith and the journey of life is what I love the most. Again, I’m the person who likes to go deep and personal. I love honesty and vulnerability in people. I’m never afraid to hear people’s junk. All my faith posts can be found here. One of my favorite posts that I wrote about faith was on the topic of grace. You can read it here.
Well, I hope you learned a little about me today and I’m grateful you stopped by. Hope to hear from you today! By the way, this is what’s going on with The Blended Blog during April.
Have a great day!
Be blessed! ~ Carrie
