That's what this experience is to me. Not so sure why it's scary - this is a blog that will probably be forgotten with time, pushed off to the side collecting dust much like my most recent (by most recent I mean it's been collecting dust for almost 2 years now) knitting adventure. I would like to say I will commit to this as other bloggers I have seen do, posting religiously every day, not disappointing their followers - but let's face it, this may not be possible and I currently have no followers (at least there's no one to disappoint!). One step in the right direction.
I have started this blog as a way to voice my experiences in life and, hopefully, use it as a tool in my current exploration in bettering myself and my quality of life. (In this case, I may point out that my above paragraph is very negative and not a great way to start off! Think positive, right?)
Let me start off by, briefly (ha), introducing myself. I am a twenty-something HR student living in my hometown in Northwestern Ontario. I am engaged, living with my fiancée in our very first house; we have three cats (2 most of the time - one seems to wonder back and forth between our home and a neighbour's home) and 2 dogs. I love to cook but I really have a sweet tooth so baking is #1 for me. Unfortunately for me, the other half does not have a sweet tooth so that usually means I end up eating the entire cheesecake, plate of cookies or pan of brownies. Enter the 25+ pounds I would love to lose (I really love baking way too much to let those pounds interfere with my eating of said baking!). I have recently discouvered dogs, and training dogs, as a huge passion for me as well. My two "fur-babies" are mixed breeds; Loki is almost a year and a half and is some sort of Border Collie/Lab mix (and something that has caused him to be extremely tall) and the youngest, Lexi is a German Shepherd/Husky mix who is just over a year. I am currently training them both in Agility (but as you will learn as time goes by that may dwindle down to one in Agility and another in - who knows -). Agility has become an obsession for me. I am still in the beginning stages of training so I've got a long way to go but I am in love. I am also an assistant trainer within the puppy classes at the local dog club. More on that in the future. Probably one of the biggest things you'll learn about me is that I have an anxiety disorder. This is one of the reasons for my "better life, better me" exploration - I have lived my life dictated by my anxiety for a long time and it is something I would like to change. One moment at a time.
This is just the basics! There's a lot more to learn about me and I'm hoping that, through this blog, that will come through. Keep tuned and keep your fingers crossed that the dust doesn't settle! More on dogs, love, chocolate and everything in-between.
