A New Beginning: The Magic of Bliss

After almost two years of being "offline," I finally mustered the strength and will to decide that yes, I must go back to blogging. I have been thinking about this for some time already, but never had enough will to do so. However, yesterday was the turning point for me, as thoughts of life, love, fear, and hope streamed through my mind, asking myself "what do you want to do with your life?"

What do I really want? In my thirty plus years of living, I have always convinced myself that I knew what I wanted in life, where I should be now, and what my future will hold. However, experiences and situations kept on making me realize too that maybe I'm not 100% sure of what I really wanted. Am I crazy?

Then I discover the words of Diana Vreeland:

There's only one very good life and that's the life you know you want and you make it yourself.

These words provoked me, and all the more fuelled my desire to go back to my plan of living intentionally, of doing the things that I love and add value to life. One of those things that I love is blogging/writing.

So here we are.

It is a new beginning, because for one, I have changed my blog title (and domain). "My Lavender Fields" have always been the name of my blog, as it connoted a feeling of peace, of serenity, of joy, and of nature. Lavender is one of my favorite scents and herbs, and I have always dreamed of one day visiting Provence and to be surrounded by the beauty of scent of lavender. However, due to some technicalities, I lost my blog domain, and though my domain name was called "My Lavender Field," it was never the same. I was never the same. I tried to keep it, but I completely lost interest.

Many times have I attempted to go back to my little virtual space, even going so far as thinking of new blog titles, but I never succeeded.

That, is, until yesterday. I just suddenly thought of the words bliss (thanks to one of the workshops I attended) and magic (saw the cover of the book by Rhonda Byrne), and out them together. Voila! The title gave me new life (at least in blogging haha!), and I acted like a mad woman while trying to revamp my blog. I just love my new blog title.

My blog is still under construction, but I do have plans to simplify further and have a focused content. It will still be similar to what I have been doing before, but I guess now I need to put more structure to it (but still being dynamic). It is still a blog about my thoughts, ramblings, and musings on the joys of living, but hopefully it will become even more helpful to readers (I hope I would have them back!) out there.

The Magic of Bliss.

Yes, I do believe in magic, and bliss is what I long for.
