So I survived the Year of Firsts: First full moon, first new moon. First Father’s Day. First Birthday (my dad’s and then mine). Developmental milestones were met without me being able to share them with one of my favorite friends, my dad.
Grief is an ass-kicker. It’s a fickle bitch. It is many things, most of which is personal and unique to each individual experiencing it. It’s an attachment loss, it’s neurobiological, it’s somatic, it’s painful, it’s fragmenting, it’s expansive.
I watched someone I pledged my love to slowly die from his own hand over a period of years. I thought I knew about grief, felt pretty smart about† it. And then I placed my right hand on my dad’s heart and intertwined my left hand with his hand as I looked into his eyes and watched my dad take his last breath. And then I felt myself leave myself, and those pieces have slowly been reintegrated, maybe not in all the same places and definitely with jagged edges, but I’m here nevertheless.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
