I have to admit something about myself. It’s not pretty and I’m not proud of it, but I know I’m not the only one and quite frankly I’m hoping for some sort of “release and find” to happen.  At times (ok, most of the time) I become completely and utterly paralyzed in the action stage of making something happen for myself. Ok, let me just admit another something real quick… At first draft, I ended that last sentence after the word “happen”. I did a super quick read of it, and went, “Umm, Marissa, be real.”   I’m great at making decisions and following through with the action stage for others. For myself though? Yeah, I’m working on it.

Case in point? This website. I’ve been contemplating this website for about a year now. A YEAR. It’s not like I’ve been contemplating some very resource-expensive decision.  I think (this time) my paralysis was centered around questioning myself about the first post because I have so many ideas swimming around in my head. Will it be funny? Serious? Informative? How about this… let’s simplify and just say it will be honest. And that’s what I decided today, because if I’m sharing  my life and how I attempt to impart a little love and passion into the world, simplicity and honesty is where it has to start!  I’ll be posting once a week on everything from loving your home to loving your skin and everything in between.  I would love to post more, but noticed I said honestly it would be once a week.

I can’t wait to start sharing all the things that help ME bring love and passion into the world and maybe help YOU do a little of it, too! I mean, can’t we all use a little more love??
