A few weeks ago, I shared this month marks my one-year
business anniversary and my three year blogiversary. It’s so weird to look back
at my old entries. It’s like re-reading old journals. I’m still kind of amazed
that I decided to chronicle my life experiences and observations in such a
public forum. As I said before, it’s cool to see how things change and remain
the same.
I started my blog after a huge life transition. And in the
last three years, there have been several more. I’ve written about career,
relationships, hurts, and healing. I’ve written as a (hopefully) wise friend,
guide, and co-journeyer. I’ve demonstrated how fitness and movement have become
my metaphors for overcoming in life. Basically, I feel like I’ve found myself,
healed my heart, and discovered purpose in this blog- to promote health and
strength from the inside out.
So, when a life coach friend of mine told me one day, “You’re
like a soul trainer,” it totally resonated with me. Yes. I suppose I am. And I’m
not a counselor-trainer who will just give you the prescription and rattle off
book knowledge without having gone through the process myself. If you’ve
followed me for a while, you know I have been walking through it all right
along with you. It only makes sense then for me to finally settle into a more
appropriate blog name. Soul Trainer. Nothing will really change as far as what
I write about. I’m just clarifying my focus in a way that captures what I
really do. Let us continue to grow together in strength, joy, and wellness.
