Welcome to My Blog!
Hello,
I’m glad you’re here.
I’m sitting here on my patio. It is 78 degrees and mostly sunny (at least that's what the Google assistant said, LOL). I hear birds chirping and I am fully motivated to finally return to blogging.
This is my third attempt at blogging. Looking back on my past failed attempts, I was trying to decide on the “why” I want to return to writing for a blog.
So, I reflected on 2020, as I’m sure many people have done.
2020 was a very hard year for everyone all over the world. It was an incredible time. COVID-19, the social injustice and violence all over the world was disheartening and devastating.
Many people battled with some form of anxiety, struggle, or fear. It may be one of the only times the whole world could stand in full testimony to what we all went through.
Personally, my anxiety reached its highest levels when I realized I was going to have to work from home. My mom lost her job and so did my daughter. I wasn’t sure if I would be next, and what would I do If I lost my job?
I needed something else to feel passionate about. I needed to give another go at my art business.
I put down art, but then the desire to create art came back again... and again. This was my “why” I needed to return to blogging. Almost impulsively, I formed Michelle Long Designs LLC.
I’ve always wanted to be a creative entrepreneur. It’s very rewarding putting beautiful art into the world and having the world enjoy whatever I’ve created.
My goal with this blog is to encourage and inspire others to do whatever their heart desires. With this blog, I will be sharing my art process, my struggles and my inspirations.
I will explore the arts in general (film, tv, music, etc.). Basically, I’ll discuss all the things I love. Finally, I want to talk a little bit about lifestyle, women entrepreneurship, self-improvement, and …my love for coffee. LOL, just kidding!
I’m feeling hopeful and encouraged about 2021.
How are you feeling about the new year? Please let me know in the comments.
:)
Michelle
