I’m currently revamping my website because I am running out of storage …please be patient if you encounter glitches and please do let me know.
I also need your help. ALL IDEAS on how to improve my website are most welcome. I’m still going to use the free templates so I have to work within the perimeters.
When I started this blog in 2008, exactly a decade ago, I had no idea it would take me here today. My first few posts were of activities that I felt like sharing and my travels. It was like entering a dark room and trying to manoeuvre my way around.
In 2009 my friend and I decided to get creative and start on an art journey. I did a few sketches of animals which ended up on bags that I sold to friends over Christmas. I carried on doing this for a couple of years until it dawned on me that this is not what I was cut out to do.
In 2013, Mariana from FloatingLemons.com challenged me to a sketch a day project. This was the turning point. I enjoyed the daily sketches so much that I still sketch to this day, except no longer daily.
My daily sketches gave me a sense of purpose and direction in my life which I needed.
Fast forward to today and I am proud of all that I have accomplished so far. A successful first solo art exhibition in the bag.
The hardest part was and is always the beginning. Every time I embark on a new project, panic and fear of failure sets in.
My goal this year is to move forward with confidence and faith that I will achieve what I set out to do. I know I will still have that voice of self doubt and fear in my head but I will do my best to silence them.
Thank you to all of you for holding my hand along this journey. For the encouragement when I was close to giving up, for cheering me up when I was down, for sharing in my joy and my success.
I am truly grateful. 🙏🌹❤️

Ya i think after letting this blog grow organically for a decade, and how time flies, a revamp is in order!

Now, revamping? Your site. 🙂
I like it as it is. Maybe you want to look at other themes to play around. If I recall, there is an option in the menu, where you can select a “mock” new theme and see how it looks. Then go back.
You have short posts, so you may want to look at themes that display all your posts vertically? I would say try a few themes and follow your heart.
Bonne chance. (On the Life part) 🙂

Self-doubt is good. Only morons do not doubt. Self-doubt forces you to look critically at what you are doing and how you are doing it. And ask yourself: can I do it better? That is good. Obviously when self-doubt and fear overcome and paralyze you, then it’s time to stop. Where is the balance? I don’t know. It’s for everyone to place it. My suggestion: look back at your achievements. Without downplaying them. If success outnumbers failures, then you are on the right track.
