Blogging my way through life

Hello, this is me, starting a blog site, again. Thank you for visiting. There is much that I would like to say. I can’t say it all right now. Overtime, though, I plan to get all that is up here (pointing to my head) to here (this blog site). I am free writing right now, so don’t mind me if I don’t make any sense. Here I go, editing again. Free writing is about writing what comes to the brain, mind, without editing. Just writing is the goal. Eventually, the free write is supposed to turn in to something worthwhile.

I recently saw an IG (instagram) post of someone saying that the first 100 posts are going to flop, post anyway. I’d hate to say it, but I am a perfectionist to a certain degree. I want things to look and present a certain way. OK. Well now they are just going to be. In the back of my mind I’m thinking, that I’m not even going to post this, I can’t post this. But what if I do? What is the worst that will happen? Pausing to contemplate.

I’m thinking the title should not be Starting Again but Free Write. I am free to write. Thank you WordPress.com for giving me a space in which I can do just that, write. It has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember to write about my experiences, lessons, and insights. I want to write my testimonies to how God has shown up in my life and give Him the glory. I would like my writings to help another in what ever way it can.

Nike has a slogan, Just Do It. Here I am, just doing it! What also comes to mind is Just Do It video by Shia Labeouf. Yesterday you said you would do it today, etc. Yes. If at a later date you read this post, please know it is me sitting at my desk, starting up this blog, not knowing what I’m doing for real, pressing forward on one of my goals.

I bought a domain name for a blog site I had before. I set up the site, doing all the plug-ins, pages, etc. I let it sit for about two years in under construction mode. So when I say starting again, yes, it means I’m starting again, somewhere. That somewhere is here. So pray for me. Pray for the success of this blog site. Come back, check in on the progress and growth of it. And if you catch me stalling, please give me a nudge.

Hi,

I’m Monica

Welcome to my blog!

I’m a born-again Christian and a woman of faith from Buffalo, NY. I’ve earned Bachelor of Arts degree in Communication Studies from Buffalo State University. My goal is to is to share my thoughts, insights, reflections, perspectives, opinions, and personal experiences with the world through writing.

In my spare time I like to color, read, watch movies, and see what’s happening in social media. For exercise, I like to walk and bike ride. I’ve dabbled in different creative outlets such as rock painting and painting on canvas. I like to try new things like viral social media recipes.

The posts in this blog are unique in it that may take a few paragraphs or just a few words or sentences to get my thoughts across. I especially love how God shows up and my personal experiences and insights reflect the teachings of the Bible.

Enjoy your visit and come back soon!
