Live Colorfully



05/30/2018

For those of you who follow my blog, but are not bloggers, I’ll be real with you… blogging is not a cakewalk. It’s not all sunshine and rainbows as it seems (however, can we talk about how awesome this floor is?! Definitely all sunshine and rainbows here!), it’s a large investment full of many emails and as my friend Laura of Louella Reese put it, a constant “comparison game”.  I recently decided to take a small step back from the events and the dinners and reevaluate this current love-hate relationship I’m experiencing. I also recently started a new job and had to especially learn how to manage my time between two careers. Through my reevaluation, I found that this is my creative outlet that I love and when I truly put my mind to it and create content I love, I enjoy it that much more.

Having said all this, I’ve realized the importance of positivity in life and truly try my best to cleanse the negativity. It’s not an easy task, but staying optimistic and learning when to take a breath are two main actions that can help you get started. Also, embracing supportive friends that build you up instead of tearing you down is crucial! But don’t forget to support them right back! My gal pal Kelsey of Chasing Cinderella recently shared a blog post on supporting your favorite bloggers and small businesses. It’ll make you feel good and them, as well! And it can’t hurt to twirl around in a pretty yellow dress in a bright and colorful room – that will definitely bring a smile to your face!
