I have started to write on this blog in January 2015. The truth is that back then I have posted a few times in January and then in February 2015 and then it all went silent until September 2016. This was the moment when I started to post regularly and prepare some nice recipes or lifestyle advice from my own experience on a weekly basis. This project of mine started in 2015 as I started to record my own experience with this lifestyle as photographs of what I was and what I am eating and also as recordings in my journal of the experiences that I have been going through. I love to write in my journal on a daily basis and I do believe it is a great tool for getting more clarity in our thoughts and engagement in our actions. It took me a while to commit to this practice of blogging and writing, sharing my own recipes, my own experience. Its not that I did not want to do it, I was very excited about it from the start, but I just thought I have to wait until I felt ready. But not even in 2016 I did not get that feeling of being ready, instead, I just decided to get going and learn along the way.

Today it is definitely easier for me to keep doing it simply because now it is a practice, it is a habit, its a part of my weekly process and my weekly activities. I have tried all kinds of ways of doing it to see what fits me best: posting twice a week, posting once a week, scheduling posts and writing them in advance and so on, but the truth is that there is no right or wrong way. At different times and places in my life, different practices work best. Now I do post on a weekly basis, on Sundays simply because this is the schedule that best fits my own existence right now. While I do schedule some posts and sometimes write my posts in advance, the truth is that I regularly enjoy doing them on Sundays. Its really nice to give myself some time and space to write and to simply be in the moment and enjoy the moment. Sometimes I write in advance if for example I might not be able to right that post on a specific date or simply if I have more than one great idea that I can write about in that particular day. Its a really nice process and I really enjoy fully embracing it as it unfolds.

Well, just like many other people, I had my own moments of doubt, of asking myself does this really matter? or just simply asking is this picture good enough? but then I just reminded myself of the true and most valuable reason that I am doing this for: sharing my own experience and the fact that I truly and fully enjoy doing this. I believe that even if I did it for my own enjoyment it would still be enough for me. All that I am looking for right now is to just simply have my own space for sharing my own views and experiments with this amazing way of living and being and if this inspires just one person to take action and live a healthier life, I am grateful to have played a part in that. We might be trying to play small at times, especially when we are feeling insecure or uncertain, but the truth is that we are all unique and gifted individuals and we can all bring our amazing contributions to the greater good. When our work stems from a place of sharing and caring, living a life that is true to ourselves and our goals and dreams, then we can be sure that whatever we wish for, it is already on its way to us and if it is really the right thing for us, then we will receive it.

We are always guided and taken care of so that is why it becomes even more important to be able to allow ourselves to creatively and freely express our own unique personalities and allow our gifts and truths to be shared with the world in meaningful and compassionate ways. We are channels through which divine guidance unfolds, guidance that is available for us at all times, so the more we tap into our inner greatness, the more goodness we bring into the world we are living in, each and every moment. No matter if it takes 5 days, 5 months or 5 five years to finally see our deepest dreams come true, it is still our duty to ourselves to keep dreaming and believing that whatever we wish for and dream about will come our way, the Universe will support us in achieving whatever we might be setting our minds to. Along the way, there is always a lesson that can be learned from each and every challenge or uncertainty that we might be going through, but in order for that divine learning and growth to happen we do have to show up for those, be ready and be willing to explore and dive into living life to its fullest in the most beautiful and amazing way.
