Introducing Life’s Rails

Let’s Get to Bloggin’!

What I didn’t expect from writing a blog was that it would be extremely hard to know where to begin. I have hundreds of thousands of ideas to bring to the table; constant thoughts swirling around in my mind. Yet, nothing prepared me for how hard it would be to begin the first word, the first sentence, the first paragraph of this journey.

But I guess, we will see what comes off the pages as I type, type, type away! 

In the end, I did actually decide on a few things to include in this introductory post. First, I want to direct you to my ‘About Me’ page if you haven’t been there already.  As once you join me on my blog journey, you’ll get to know more and more of my present self and will be able to then join me into my future self. So enjoy the About Me page for now (more details on this later), as we might be getting an additional person to this website, who will be blogging about some truly neat stuff! And if you have any questions or want to reach out, shoot me an email! I’ll be checking my inbox regularly and will do my best to answer as questions come in.

Author’s Note

I will be updating the website over time, as I love to make changes and am never done experimenting and never will be ready to settle on just one design…And so, I will keep updating my website as I blog and I can’t wait to see what you all think of my original content and photography! I’ll also be crediting all the photos I use from the site UNSPLASH, as I believe everyone on there needs recognition; even though it is a free photo downloads site. I want to take a moment to thank this website in particular, as I am so grateful for their content. I do less photography these days, but I can always count on this site to find something inspiring to use when I am in great need.

Bottom line: If you would like your photos featured in my blog please get in touch; send me some of your stuff, and I’ll be sure to showcase them if they fit in with the content. 

Next, I would like to thank everyone that tunes into my social media and now into my blog! It makes me so happy that you can follow my journey. I hope to change some perspectives and mindsets for the better with this blog and to help you navigate your own life journey!

You’ll be able to find me at Life’s Rails on social media such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pintrest and more soon!

Nitty-Gritty

Essentially, I love to write, so I decided to put it to good use. I’ve been writing short stories for fun since I was young and would often submit them to writing competitions…

I used to be very judgemental of my writing in the past and would throw out my words constantly. Over the years I’ve learned that old words can turn into beautiful present creations. We don’t always have all the answers when we are trying to create amazing things. Sometimes it helps to let things go for a while, and then later, you may find yourself inspired and coming back to something created years previous, with fresh thoughts and a new outlook. 

Perhaps one day I’ll post some of my old writing samples on this blog from the few things I’ve kept, for my readers to critique me on. 🙂 

For now, please scroll down the page and check out the subscription box, I promise to soon get a pop-up menu that will give everyone the chance to easily subscribe to Life’s Rails! 

Life’s Rails Run Down

What is Life’s Rails? In short, It’s an infinite resource for topics related to positive mindsets, perspectives, reliability, and personal developments. We’re going to dive deep into how these things can completely change your environment and your lifestyle for the better. I am here to share my personal life experiences, and how I’ve come to change my own lifestyle, allowing me to unlock my ultimate happiness potential.

Overall health and wellness encompass the body, mind, and soul. We forget how important it is to consider the mind-body connection. … Psychological pain can be sneaky and subtle. I feel like we don’t always detect this pain in the same way we would physical discomfort.

Most of us don’t walk around thinking about how human we actually are. In fact, a lot of us believe we are pretty much invincible. With Life’s Rails, I want to explore the in’s and out’s, the truths about health and lifestyle. I want to explore our ideas about humanity, and how we shouldn’t lose sight of ourselves in all the complications that life brings. We lose sight of what is important in our own lives, especially when it comes to our own health.

Life is hard and unfortunately, as it wears us down, our health is usually the first to take the blow. I’m here to be the positive voice of reason for your mental and physical health. 

 With each new post, I will be telling you my story of how I got to my current state of mind, how I continually strive for happiness, how to maintain it, and my overall lifestyle choices. I’ll share how I was able to begin moving past my previous ways of thinking and develop new tools for healthier thought patterns, and how I’m currently on the road to living my best life! 

BABY STEPS

I invite you to step into this blog journey with me, and I can’t wait to help change and improve your lifestyle perspective, even if the changes may be small. Every bit of self-growth and change counts in my book. If you would like some visual snippets of my life and how they relate to my blog, check out my Instagram posts where I’ll be continuing to post about lifestyle, offering tips based off of my own experiences, careful observations, and research! 

***Disclaimer – If you see things differently than I, this is 100% fine, and I am open minded and will accept and read your opinions with arms wide open… For most of this journey, it won’t surprise me to see that it will be YOU all teaching me so much! I will very likely be learning a lot from my readers as I write, grow, and share with all of you. Please be understanding, that anything I am writing about is from my own experiences and circumstances.

I’m sure everyone will have different backgrounds, experiences, views, and perspectives…so if you don’t follow or believe in exactly everything I coach, this is all alright! Grabbing a tip from here, and a little exercise from there is awesome and I’d be so happy to have helped you! But, what I will say is that this is a positive space, a loving space, and a safe space.

Please leave the hate at the door and enter with an open mind and heart, and if there is something you don’t agree with, please email me and I will definitely read your opinion and discuss it with you. 

So,  here we are.

I present to you my journey and my story and I am excited to share it and am looking forward to you reading it. Enjoy the writing and here’s to maybe meeting one another someday in this big world and speaking face to face. 🙂
