An ending and a beginning

"Success requires the emotional balance of a committed heart. When confronted with a challenge, the committed heart will search for a solution. The undecided heart searches for an escape." 
- Andy Andrews

“Commitment is doing the thing you said you would do,
long after the mood you said it in has left you.”
- George Zalucki

I made a commitment to myself that I would write a blog entry every week for 3 years straight. No matter what obstacles would jump in my way, I was committed to writing and publishing a blog entry to be sent out every Wednesday.  Well, 3 years later, this is blog entry #156. I'm really proud of myself (and amazed) that I maintained my commitment. I had naysayers along the way telling me it didn't matter if I skipped a week (or more)  or making sure I got my blog out was not a priority. To them, it wasn't, to me - it has been. This is probably the longest commitment I've upheld and not many can understand the importance this holds for me.

It can be scary and unnerving to put yourself out there. The whole point has been to share perspectives and connect with others who may resonate with what I express. The determination to write this blog - no matter what - came from a place deep inside of me. I'm really happy that I followed the feeling that this was something I needed to do - even if I wasn't really sure why. At the very least, I proved to myself that I can and did fulfill my commitment.

I have decided that I will continue to write, but not on a weekly basis. To those who have read and followed the blog - Thank You! To those who commented either on the blog itself or through email - Thank You! I'm grateful to everyone who has accompanied me along this 3 year journey.

Love & Gratitude, Adrienne :)
