Why Write, Why Right Now?

You would not be alone if you wonder why I am choosing to write business-related content after 20+ years. I have asked myself the same thing. I mean there's already a book about those 20 years. It’s called “More than a Bag: Celebrating the First 20 Years of the Thirty-One Story”. I was blessed to be a contributor to the book, but felt like there was a lot more I wanted to share once it was published. After I left the business in 2023 I was grateful with a time of rest and restoration. But those 20 years are a big part of who I am and it’s been on my heart to share my learnings with others through my writings.

Several months ago when I started writing blogs on a personal level I realized I could make an impact on others in other ways. My focus so far has been the impact of mental health on my life, my experiences of being a working mom of three amazing kids, and my faith in God over everything. The emotional release of sharing my blog writings has been life changing.

I have written journal entries for over 20 years as a way to not only reflect on my life and track milestone moments, but as a way to capture my deepest thoughts and feelings. Something great happens, it’s going in my journal. Something awful happens, it’s going in my journal. As a side note, I used to hand-write my journal entries, but years ago I switched to a digital journal and love the fact I can scan it so much faster if I need to reference something I experienced. I recommend everyone write in a journal, but it’s your choice how you do it.
