New Beginnings

Hi, I’m Kirstin :)

I’m a believer that one of the most beautiful relationships you can have is with yourself. I’ve seen it first hand in my own life as I’ve reflected on my experiences, the lessons they’ve taught me, and how they’ve shifted my perspective. Now, I’ve gotten to a point where I’m confident in who I am and want to use sharing pieces of my life for a larger purpose. Through shared experience, you find commonalities and bring people together…and I know that together, we can do great things.

It’s my hope to build a supportive, open, and loving community of women so that we can grow and evolve together. And, I know that in order to do so, I need to share my story, my experiences, and whatever else comes from my heart. I keep saying “I want to share my story” because I believe it can have an impact - in helping others, providing someone with reassurance, a different perspective, or support knowing you’re not alone.

The truth is, I didn’t really know where to start. There’s been so much that’s contributed to my life’s story and I was trying to map everything out “perfectly” before I began writing about it. I also kept telling myself “I’ll get to it” or “I’ll do it next weekend when I have more time.” So, after a very real conversation with myself (and to be honest, getting annoyed with my own procrastination) I’m no longer going to wait for the “perfect” moment. For all I know, right now IS perfect! Sharing my story has to begin somewhere and I’ve decided this is the place.

There are always opportunities to create new beginnings (this one included), whenever you want. Opportunities to grow and evolve, reflect, rest, smile, laugh, cry, grieve, love..to feel the emotions that you need to feel.

A reminder to myself and to you as you read this that there’s immense strength in vulnerability - vulnerability with yourself and with others. Your story is important, your experiences are important, your voice is important, and your feelings are important.

In this space, I’m going to talk about the highs, the lows, the in betweens, because each experience has influenced my life in some way. Even the times I’ve felt stagnant or like I’ve lost who I am. You can also expect blog posts about random thoughts I have (because I have lots of them). And who knows, probably a million other things as I continue to evolve.

My hope is that sharing my experiences will resonate with you as you read along and that we can come together to find commonalities in our stories. We’re all interconnected and it’s extremely beautiful - but how will we know if we don’t share?

So, here’s to taking a step into the unknown, creating a new beginning, and allowing the rest to unfold as it should..all in divine timing.

with love, always
