Hello, friends. For those of you who don’t know, this is the second time I’ve tried to start this “blog.” One year ago was the first time…must be something about spring time that makes one feel…blog-gy.
If you’ve read the “about me” on the home page, you already know the highlights of this situation. I’m sure I’ll spend plenty of time delving into the many aspects of the things mentioned there (and things beyond), but for now, let’s just talk about the purpose of this blog.
Very simply put, I want to share the journey my family and I have been on these last couple years. Breaking into the overwhelming world of sustainability and eco-consciousness has felt much more difficult than necessary. Since incorporating little bit by little bit, baby step by baby step (I finally even have my husband on board for the basics!), everything has unfolded in a much simpler way than I ever thought possible. It’s actually super difficult to not find myself frustrated by how lofty and unattainable it has all been until now. The picture-perfectness of it all. It doesn’t help that I’m easily irritated/angered in general…but that’s all part of the journey, ain’t it? I’ll even confess that the picture at the bottom of this little rant about myself was taken in someone else’s, prettier kitchen. 🙃
Don’t be fooled even further, as I will 100% use this space as my own creative outlet to write whatever the hell I want when I’m feeling it—including the very next post, I think. So when I say “journey” I literally mean it, all of it, and every step of the way.
So, welcome in! Come along! Learn with us, and from us—through mistakes and successes, highs and lows, gains and losses. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that we’re all in this together and it’s just a matter of recognizing the humanity in us all.
And at the very least, we can help you figure out what not to do.
Live long and prosper it up,
Bek
