One Wheeler's World

I’m setting out on a mission to finally work on healing the many wounds from my past.  After years of shoving hurt after hurt deep down inside and never truly addressing any of them, I’ve recently come to realize just how essential it is for me to finally put some of my focus on myself.  I need to heal.  It will make me a better wife.  A better mother.  A better me.

My plan of attack is pretty simple.  I’m making two small, yet important, commitments on this journey to a better me.  First, I am committing to at least one blog post per week dedicated to unpacking at least one item from my emotional baggage.  That’s not to say that I will rid myself completely from that item, but that I will at least address it and work towards letting go of it.  Secondly, I am vowing to doing at least one thing for myself each week.  This may be something as small as making my favorite meal for dinner, taking a fifteen minute time-out for a little bit of “me” time in a hot bath, or watching my favorite movie.  Or it may be something a little bigger like a girls’ night out or buying myself something new.

As I was thinking through embarking on this journey and on the things that I want to do for myself, I got to thinking about the idea of possibly creating a network of bloggers who want to join me and want to set out on their own journey of healing.  With this came the idea of project: Heal.  It is basically an ongoing bloghop, a somewhat organized attempt at reaching out to find myself a network of support as I work through my emotional baggage.  A group of people who can all support and encourage one another as we each work towards attaining a similar goal in becoming happier, healthier versions of ourselves.  We may not be able to unpack one another’s emotional baggage, but we can at least come together to help lug those suckers along while the bags get slowly unpacked. 

It doesn’t matter if, like me, you have a potpourri of issues that need to be sorted through, or just a couple of whoppers that need some major attention.  The only prerequisite for joining the list is a desire to work towards healing.  Each individual can decide for themselves what is the approach they want to take in taking this step.  You can follow along with my plan of action, or you may choose to find one of your own.  Just commit to a path to follow and then follow it as best you can.  If you would like to participate, please add your blog to the list below so that others can visit and offer support.
