So here it is! Finally! My blog. My precious. It’s been months in the making and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you. To be honest, I couldn’t figure out how to launch it. I’ve been up to my elbows in articles about the who, what, where, when and why on launching a blog and the do’s and don’ts that come along with it. I thought about giveaways, throwing an event, parties, donating to my favorite charity…you name it. I just wanted it to be special without having to set off fireworks or fly a banner off the tail end of a plane, but nothing seemed right– it all felt “gimmicky”.
I remembered something a mentor of mine once said which was, “showing up is half the battle”. How true is that? What truly is important is the action of doing, creating and sharing. All else should fall into place, or so we hope. This blog is something I’ve talked about doing for a long time so I decided to throw it all out the window and just DO IT!
So what can you expect? Well, aside from my attempts at witty anecdotes, my goal is to share my tips, trips, secrets of the trade and all around lifestyle with you. I hope to teach you, help you, inspire you and motivate you just as much as I hope there is some reciprocal effect that takes place within myself as well. I’ve always loved writing, photography, fashion and travel so I couldn’t imagine doing anything that makes me happier to share.
Throughout the process of planning and developing DeziStyle I’ve challenged myself to create a site that captures more than just a photo, but encompasses the complete essence of who I am. As a newbie in the online blogging community it’s a little scary to jump into such a big pond of well established bloggers but that’s where you come in! With your support, the blog has so much potential to grow so please take a moment and subscribe for free by entering your email in the ‘Follow Me’ box on the homepage and share the link with friends!
Thank you for stopping by and sharing this journey with me! And please, feel free to leave me comments below on what articles you would like to see on DeziStyle! I’d love to hear your ideas for upcoming posts. 🙂
