My first post.

Hi.
This is my first post. Honestly I'm not sure if I'm ready for anyone to read this yet but I have to start somewhere right?

Growing up I was raised in a very creative/artistic household. We would have family song nights around the piano and my sister and I were always in one play or another. We were always singing and dancing and crafting in my house.

Then I moved out. I moved to a different state, got a job, got married and settled into reality. Recently I've come to realize that I have completely lost of creative juices in the last year. It isn't a bad life. I'm married to the love of my life who stands by me thick and thin. I fall in love with him more everyday and he makes me better. However he is also 100% engineer. No creativity at all. So it's been hard to explain why this loss creativity leaves a gap in my identity. We recently had a conversation where my husband pushed me to find a creative outlet again. 

Hence Ordinary Green Musings is born.

I've thought about starting a blog for a while but something kept standing in my way. Fear. Fear of rejection, fear or not being good enough, fear of judgement, fear of pushing myself to try something new and failing. I love blogs. I have found support and encouragement in reading blogs. One of my best friends is a great blogger. I've thought before, "I could blog, I have things to share." This is immediately followed by, "I could never be as good as them."

As a child comparison never even entered my mind. I never thought, “I’m sure the other kids’ are better than mine.” “It really isn’t that good.” I created for the joy of it, for the joy of sharing. I painted my dog orange and blue and I had fun.


Well I’m taking back that reality. I won’t be the best and I don’t need to be! It might get messy but it’ll be fun! I might not color in the lines but that’s not the point! The point is to create and share! So I’ll be sharing; recipes, day in the life; bible reflections, lifestyle hacks, etc. Thank you for listening and thank you for letting me share my creations with you!
