What Would You Do If You Weren't Afraid?

It's the final week of the school year! Can I get an AMEN from all my fellow teachers?! The end of this school year is especially exciting for me as this summer is bringing another move and I will thankfully be reunited with Eric after three months of living apart. It has been a long three months and I am looking forward to it being over.

In the course of the past three months I have started watching a few different vlogers on YouTube to pass some of my down time. One of my favorites is Ellie + Jared and although I watch their daily vlogs as they are posted, I also have been watching some of their past vlogs randomly as they pop up in the "suggested feed". I watched their first daily vlog and Jared asked the question "What would you do if you weren't afraid?" For Ellie and Jared this meant starting daily vlogs for a week and then taking it from there. Now they have been vlogging every day for two years.

Jared's question really struck a nerve with me as I have been feeling somewhat adrift recently with all of the changes in my life, and looking toward the future. I am a teacher, and most days I like being a teacher. However, in the back of my mind I struggle with determining if this is what I actually am meant to be doing. I have a lot of passions in my life: cooking, baking, photography. I would love to drop everything and follow these passions, but the logical side of my brain is just too strong and I can't bring myself to do this. In an attempt to meet Jared's challenge of doing what I would do if I wasn't afraid, I am going to start small this summer and try to work on this blog regularly. I haven't quite decided what "regularly" looks like yet: daily, MWF, etc, but I am looking forward to this adventure.

I hope you will follow me on this journey. I plan to blog about a wide variety of topics: cooking, baking, crafting, moving, life, adventure, etc. I hope that it will be interesting and a little informational, but I know it will be a good representation of who I am as a person.

Today is day one of my self-challenge of doing something that I am afraid of, and I am nervous and excited.

Until our next adventure,
