Social Awkwardity

This blog endeavor has been months in the making. We’ve had a love-hate, on-again/off-again relationship that has ultimately landed me here, finally typing.

For the last week I’ve willingly thrown myself under the elephant-sized weight of my own high-standards……over a blog post. As my perfect 3 year old niece would say, “What the what?!” It’s a blog! And funny enough, at this very moment, a blog that NOBODY even knows about! So, today I’ve removed the elephant from my life and decided to just say “WELCOME!” and maybe “WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?!”. This may very well suck, and that’s on you!

This is my disclaimer on what to expect:
I hope to be entertaining, funny and helpful, but I also plan to be brutally honest. I will talk about difficult subjects you may or many not necessarily agree with. There will be profanity. I will get political. I will get religious. I may even be crude, conceited and/or crazy. It is what it is, folks.

In addition, I want to let you know a little of what else you can expect. The last few months is a time I lovingly refer to as Alisa’s Summer of Self-Care. Many of my plans, activities, decisions, and my mindset have revolved around this concept of giving a shit about myself enough to pay attention to my needs, things I love, and my desire for growth & fulfillment. Interestingly enough, giving a shit about myself has become a whole lot more about others. But I’ll talk more about that some other time.

People are complex, but I think I take it to another level. So, to keep it simple I’ve had to narrow things down for myself and pay close attention to the three parts of me:

My Mind. My Body. My Spirit.

Life is hard and I want to live it, and live it like a warrior. Let the journey continue…
