(Officially) Launching a Business During a Pandemic.

2020 has proven to REALLY get away from me. I’ve had trouble even starting to write this blog post because there are so many nitty gritty details about this year that I could talk about, and I’ve had trouble narrowing down where to begin. 


Then I realized, in order to start, I need to just START.

In just three short months, this year has already proven to be one of my most transformative years ever.


So far, I’ve: 

  • dove into life changes,

  • went well outside of my comfort zone,

  • experienced great loss that can only be dealt with day by day,

  • And have been growing a new life while I’m at it. 


And now here we are, smack dab in the middle of a global pandemic. Strictly quarantined with my two-year-old, husband, and three dogs is not where I thought I’d be by the end of the Q1 this year. Yet here we are! 

Diving into the details of this pandemic is not something I’m aiming to do in this post. Covering the devastation, the different struggles people are experiencing, and how it has rocked our worlds in ways we never could have predicted is something I can’t speak on in minimal words. So I won’t. 

I’ve wrestled with this incredibly simple website for months now. Sometimes, I would just sit and stare at it and make no progress (because NEWS FLASH, I can write, but I am no website builder). Sometimes I would blow it all up and start over again. Now, I’m at the point where if I don’t put something out into the world, I’ll never know what it could grow to be. I have a client base, but I need more people to SEE what I’m doing.

I needed to just push myself to start.

I plan to utilize this blog section as my own personal outlet where you can get to know me, my voice, my writing abilities, my thoughts, and my experiences. I won’t appeal to everyone I’m sure, but hopefully some of my thoughts will be relatable, or at the very least, not boring to read. I’m open to your feedback, comments, and getting to know the audience who may (hopefully) be following along. 


Am I crazy to launch a website and attempt to grow my client base in the middle of COVID-19 mayhem? Maybe. I’m not really sure. 


2020 hasn’t proven to make ANY sense, so why not give it a try?
