Yes I did another year of blogs, fifty-two weeks. I’m so proud of me. 😁. I have now been putting out blogs for four years. Yes, four years, I can hardly believe it. You know I sat counting on my fingers to see if it was really that amount of time. I started on 19th July 2018. I doesn’t seem like that long a period. The time just ran off. Time sure flies when you are having fun. I always feel like posting but sometimes don’t feel like sending out reminders, but I do any way. There is an old Jamaica saying “ if you want good yuh nose haffi run.” Which simply means if you want to achieve anything of significance you have to put in the work so you can get what you want.
I never thought or knew I was this disciplined. I put out a blog every week for four years. I never stopped from the first week I dipped my toe in the proverbial water. It was scary as I didn’t know what the feedback would be, but at the end of the day it’s my life so I get to live it the way I want. If I didn’t do it I would have wondered what if for the rest of my life. Now how do I harness this discipline and use it in other ways? But then again do I want to pivot into another area or continue on the same path? I thought about it and realized I get bored easily and I know I will get bored and might be tempted to stop. I wouldn’t want that so I will have to mix it up and move on. Continue to blog but also do something else. After all I’m a life long learner. Never stop learning or it means you are wilting and will wilt away.
I had to really stop and ask myself the question do I really continue or go off and do something else? I wonder 🤔. But what would I want to do if not doing this? Speaking with others ideas have been kicked around from writing for the newspapers to doing a book. It wouldn’t be something new because I would still be writing but it would just be different. Especially for the book. After all as I have been told I already have the material. Two hundred and eight blogs. Yes some are similar but they are all unique. What do you think? Would I still be able to write whatever came to mind? This has been one of the best things about this blog for me. I have been able to get the things rolling around in my head out by just writing them. It’s my way of journaling. A very public way, but… It actually works for me , try it and let me know how it works for you. I mean journaling. But then again if you want to start a blog go right ahead. The more the merrier. What is it that you have always wanted to do but keep putting off? Go for it. Life is meant to be lived. Don’t wait if it’s possible now. What are you waiting for? Life waits on no one so go live your life. Happy blog anniversary to me and I will continue to see how many more I can achieve. Life is not a niche area such as data protection in IT, but it’s one that I know and understand. The other thing is I know so many other persons and we are all living. Some live life to the fullest and others don’t. So I don’t have to write about my life and experiences and what I know but I can write about others as I said I would do in that first blog. I kept my word and I will continue to write about life. Let’s raise a toast to life. It’s there to be lived.
Let me know as I really want to know what you are thinking, and I know others do too. Try commenting 👍🏽, but if you are not comfortable, reach out to me via any medium. Your comments let me know how you feel and very often give me a total different perspective on the topic. 😉. And you can never tell your comment might help others.
Always remember life is for living and you must always live your best life. #lifeisforliving #liveyourbestlife #gratefulforlife #faithgreaterthanfear
See you next Wednesday at 8:00 pm, Bogota time.

I still believe that one day your blogs will go viral. Wishing you all the success in the future.
Thank you my friend. From your mouth to God’s ears. 🙏🏽
Congratulations Andrea. I am in awe of your discipline. I think you hit the nail on the head : find something you enjoy and the discipline will come. Wishing you all the best as you continue on your journey.
Thank you so much. I will continue. It’s been an interesting journey. It’s about the journey not the destination. 🙏🏽
Congratulations Andrea! I love your passion for writing- and I can envision you going beyond blogging:) in due time. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to be on this journey. I too endorse journaling- engaging in it myself, & prescribing it for some of my clients. It is rather liberating! I wish you continued success☺️ Happy writing!
Everything in it’s time.
Thank you for being on the journey. Not sure what the destination will be.
Will continue writing. 🙏🏽
