There Is Room For Everyone

I don’t really remember when I first had the desire to create a blog. I’m actually laughing now that I think about it. Laughing because it reminds me of other journeys in my life and how things seem to “just happen” — they don’t really “just happen” though.  In thinking about starting my blog, I’m reminded of my journey into social work (which I’ll likely write about eventually). At that time, my thought process was, I want to help people, get my hands dirty and really be there for people in pain and suffering. I want to help people overcome and thrive, and I want it to do it for a living. Turns out, a way to do that was by getting an MSW degree (masters in social work), and so I went for it. Over a decade in the field of social work and I’ve never regretted it.

Similar experience with this blog. I want to have a space where I can share my thoughts and views on things that matter to me. I want to share stories of my life that have shaped me into the woman I am today. I want to share my journey. I want to create a space where others can also share their thoughts and views and stories and journeys. I want to create community. Turns out blogging is one of the ways I can do that. 

Annndd... bring on the fear. Tamir, who cares what you have to say? Who will read or listen to you? Does it really matter? There are SO many blogs out there….what will make yours different?...etc. 

I can’t really say that there was a magical moment where I felt the “call” to do this. There was no epiphany-type moment. There has been however a nudging in my soul, that this is the right time to do this. So. What did I do to overcome the fear to actually do this? 

I reminded myself of these truths:

There is NO OTHER Tamir.

Those who are interested, will be interested. 

There is room for EVERYONE. 

So, what can you expect from me? Vulnerability. Openness. Stories. Tears. Laughter.

Here we go Familia! Welcome to my blog!
