How does time fly. Life with Pal is a year old today. We’ve come a long way from being a free blog on Tumblr. We’ve had a name change and even have a shop.
2021 was busy
It seems like it was only yesterday that I was trying to get everything together to launch our site.
I had originally wanted to launch earlier in 2021 to coincide with Pal’s birthday in May but I had a few setbacks.
I shouldn’t call them setbacks I should call them kittens.
Oddly enough they arrived on what would have been Pal’s 20th birthday. So that delayed my original plans.
Overall I think the setbacks did me good. I was able to format the site the way I wanted and add a shop.
We’ve come a long way from being a tumble blog. It was hard to let Reviews and Savings Pal go. I felt that having a more inviting site name would attract more visitors. Besides I did have a life with Pal for almost 18 years.
on a personal note
For me, 2021 was busy, yes but I also learned a lot about myself. I was able to move forward with my plans to launch the new blog.
I was at a turning point as well. I committed to my decision and keep at it. I had been doing this in the past but I had a lot of self-doubts.
Thanks to the fact that I was putting myself and my mental health first. My therapist reassured me that I was on the right path and encouraged me to keep at it.
I’m glad I finally put myself first in 2019 which inturned continued into the years to come.
I was able to get myself in the right mindset to know that I had a purpose and to share my ideas with the world. I do still have self-doubt but I find ways to talk myself out of it.
2021 brought a lot of changes from kittens to not stressing about things I can’t control.
thanks, everyone
