Hi, my name is Ella. For a while now, I have been thinking about writing a blog and I have finally decided to take the leap into the unknown. I’ll be honest, I am slightly apprehensive because whilst I have many dreams I aspire to chase, actually putting myself out there does feel quite real. It might sound strange, but for me there seems to be a chasm between my thoughts and my actions.

I love dreaming up endless possibilities, thinking about doing something of significance. However, as the mental momentum builds so does the fear, sending me round the classic loop where the resultant movement is static. Keeping my own thoughts cocooned in my mind, has arguably protected me from failure or judgement, but it is also withholding me from building a meaningful life.

So here I am today, not writing a book or following any other crazy dream, but simply taking a very small step, just to act. I have a loose plan for this blog, but for once I am also going to let go and see where this will take me. So with that said, I invite you along on the journey.
