Hi! I’m Erin.
I’m an author, adventurer, loving friend, sister, daughter, cat mom. I read, I write, I travel, I cook, I practice yoga, I hike, I swim, I dance. You’ll learn more about me and my work as we travel on this journey together but for now I want to tell you why I’m (finally) starting this blog.
I’m starting this blog. I’m sharing my words – some I’ve written with the intention of sharing, some I intended to hold closely forever.
I’m starting this blog because I love to write. I hope to inspire. I need to create – even if it’s only for the sake of creating. I’ve often found myself giving advice or offering my opinion – even if it’s not necessarily asked for. And maybe this is a space for that. You, dear reader, can stop reading at anytime.
For a while, that was my fear – that no one would read my work. Or worse, someone would read it, not like it and tell me so. But I’m doing this to break through that fear. I’m writing for me.
I’m writing for anyone like me – who seeks creativity, art, adventure. Anyone who feels lost or like they’ve failed, even if they’ve done everything “right.” Anyone who is ready to tap into their inner light, use their inner magic. Anyone who wants to meet the best version of themselves.
This will be a page to foster that magic, to build community, to inspire.
It will be filled with stories of things I enjoy (travel, yoga, journal prompts, books, poems) and tales of things I’ve learned (how to “adult”, handling heartbreak, navigating this world).
I’m in my late twenties and I’m at a point in my life where I’m tired of waiting for the right time. I’ve spent too long putting off projects because the time wasn’t right or I didn’t feel ready. I’ve prolonged posting things because I needed to “research” and learn about algorithms/ how blogs should be done.
But lesson number one: the right time is now. If I wait to do something until I “feel” ready, I will never do it. I’ve also spent too long, in general, worrying about what other people think. So I am releasing that need to please, to be perfect, and I’m starting.
Thank you for following along.
Erin A Clark
