About SE

I want to start by thanking you for entering a very personal space for me.

Recently, I had a pretty rapid ‘180’ take place in my life. I reverted to journaling to help me deal with the internalizing of my problems. This was something that no one, not even my husband, knew that I was doing.

I was reading blogs and books that were inspiring me to put pen to paper and give my words a solid backing.

When I would journal, I had a place that no one was judging me for my thought process in my life-transition. I never planned on sharing this with anyone. Not because I was ashamed, but because it was a small, simple way to express my thoughts and emotions that worked.

And then, I had a person come to me for a similar issue in their life. We weren’t that close, and I’m not sure why she came to me, I think it was mostly; a ‘right time- right place’ kind of thing. But this is was the first time since I felt my “world collapse” that someone asked me for advice. And you know what happened?

I didn’t fill her with false affirmations and promises that everything was going to be better soon like I used to anytime someone came looking for help. I had my journal entries that became daily affirmations and I helped her. I gave her a new way to process her thoughts and used new motivations I found in journaling to help her put it into perspective.

I took a step back and really appreciated the Authors and bloggers that put their ‘souls’ out for judgement to hopefully help someone like me. And when I went through my past entries and focused on why I started, I realized that even if I helped one person who wouldn’t normally come to me for advice, I took a challenge in life that could of defined me, and used it to help some one else.

So for the past few weeks, I have been working on Soul Essentials. It’s a small blog with a catalog of my thoughts and feelings on everyday situations.

I hope I can help you in ways that you come looking for, or in ways you didn’t know you needed.

If you are going through anything and feeling like your drowning, I can tell you, I’ve been there and so has everyone else. But hopefully this blog puts some much needed soul motivation in one place to help you.

So thank you for taking a moment to read about me and browse through my blog. I truly hope it helps you and provides perspective to your life.

About ME

Thanks for sticking with me!

Hopefully you have had some time to look around and get a feel for Soul Essentials.

I’m 24, newly married to a wonderful husband, mom to two perfect fur babies, and located in Cincinnati!

I’m very artistic and rely heavily on being able to express myself through creative processes to stay sane. I’m a Capricorn so I am headstrong and emotional, which is why my journaling was so crucial to getting me through a recent transformative time in my life.

I am so thankful you are here and would love your comments, post ideas, and entries. Hopefully you can find something, or a bunch of things, that speak to you and the place you are at in life. We’re all just trying to get through life in one peice, but I can tell you, that’s never going to happen. But we can make the best of every moment and hopefully help people along the way.
