Re-post from old blog February 11, 2022

Well, it happened! I accidentally deleted my original blog, “Discovering Valerie” which completely deflated me! I was in the process of creating a new blog that would be the home of some free graphics I had intended to be free for anyone to use personally or commercially. For some reason, Blogger created three blogs, and I was trying to delete the duplicate blog…then poof, my whole blog was gone, sailing into the cloud somewhere.

Years of my weight loss journey posts that I cannot get back unless you follow me on Instagram, in which I have hundreds of posts about that or my life on there. I almost did not create another blog because I wasn’t sure I wanted to share anything about myself, my creativity, or my life.

So, this blog will be a mixture of my life, health, weight loss, and creativity. I may take this in some different directions than my former blog and see where that leads me, find the path that is meant just for me. I have many projects in the works for this year of renewal, and that is how I want to claim this year. A year of renewal for myself and personal or work-related goals.

I greatly appreciate anyone who happens upon my blog and takes the time to read anything that I write. I freely admit I am not a writer, much less a professional writer. I try to filter some of what I say, but I have a real and raw attitude when the words flow out of me. Sometimes, you will even read the F-bomb; if that offends you, this probably isn’t the right blog to read.
