It's funny how a little notoriety can change things. The knowledge that people are actually reading your words. And yes, I know this sounds a little odd given that I post them here on the interwebs for everyone to see - but those everyone - I thought were limited to a select few who I started this journey with - who read at the start but slowly lost interest. But now I have a new little blog - Everyday Stronger - where I track my workouts that people are reading. 94 pageviews in just one day, from all over the world... reading my words - relating to them. Crazy! And also intimidating. Yes, quite intimidating.
What were once only words for me - a way to track my progress, my strength... these words now belong to others too. In someone's comment about relating to the emotion - tears welling up while reading. To someone else tracking me down on a field on a sunny day mid workout to mention that they've read it too and that it's nice to have someone elses perspective. How it's a 'liked' blog on my boxes website which I love and am grateful for while at the same time intimidated by. Kirsten told me that it doesn't have to change the way I write, that my audience doesn't need any more that what I'm giving - that the emotional posts will come when they need to and that's enough... and maybe that's true. I've already learned on this blog that I can't force emotion, I can only write from the heart and so... that will be my goal there. To share my strength and heart to those that care to follow me on this journey. Everyday stronger in so many ways...
