Today Is The Last Day Of The Ultimate Blog Challenge & The Beginning Of Something New For Me!

I did it! I stopped hiding! Today is July 31st and the last day of the July Ultimate Blog Challenge. If you haven't been following along you can check out my first blog post for the month here.

My amazing friend Kimberly Winters of the Did You Bring The Hummus Podcast and my co-host on That Vegan Morning Show, told me about this challenge and I am so glad she did!

Me with Kimberly last Friday, visiting Ethos Farm To Health in Long Valley, NJ.

My intention to do this challenge was to stop hiding and develop better habits around consistency. I have wanted to do blogging for years, but have always struggled showing up consistently. In my first post for the challenge I talked about my history as a people-pleaser and hiding. Even though I have healed through a lot of that stuff, there are always new layers of healing that show up for me to work on. Owning a business has brought up a lot of that residual healing to my attention. As a business owner and content creator, I would have moments of feeling motivated to create and show up and then life would happen and I would retreat. This month I showed up no matter how I felt, challenged myself, and posted anyway.

Showing up consistently for this month's challenge has taught me that I do have valuable things to say and share. It has helped me develop my writing skills and connect with myself more in a deeper way. It has helped me cultivate more self-acceptance and helped me embrace myself more for who I am.

This challenge has also given me the opportunity to meet other bloggers and learn from them. I got a chance to read and learn about other things, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to otherwise. I learned more about Sweden, Canada, and dog yoga. I learned more about spiritual practices and mindset shifts. I had the opportunity to read the vulnerable sharing of others, learning from their life experiences and feeling inspired.

So what's next for me? Well I am going to shift my focus from posting every day to at least once a week. That used to feel like an impossible goal for me to reach, but now it feels easier. If I can post every day for 31 days, then I can definitely can post at least once a week.

I am also creating content on my YouTube channel The Confident Vegan and as I mentioned before, co-hosting That Vegan Morning Show with Kimberly. We are also working on some other exciting projects together for that. Stay tuned!
