Hi I’m Sandra,
I found Ecency via a Google search of Social earning sites. I first tried out Tsu (now known as Display) then found Noise Cash and Waveful. I completely gave up on "Display" but still continue using the latter two. I am happy using those two sites but was looking for something more "blogiish" and Google search provided and here I am.
So here goes: I am a wife and a mother, Newbie to the fitness world, rediscovering my passion for photography and Crochet, I love nature, I am always learning new things and I am crazy about the things I love.
I love that Ecency is blog based giving me the opportunity to document my life and experiences as well as a creative outlet to share the things I am passionate about in the hopes of improving myself and breaking the limits I have unconsciously restricted myself with.
As per instruction from @anggreklestari from @OCD I'm now happily adding my #introduceyourself Introduction post.
MY STORY
As for my skills, I would have to say I’m mostly self taught. Everything I know I have learned from life and Internet Articles. This is about my journey of self discovery and self love.
I have issues with my self esteem. I know what it’s like to feel without purpose and direction. I know what it’s like to lack motivation. I’m learning about loving myself for who I am as a person and not what I look like. I’m doing what I want. I’ve felt heart break. I’ve had debilitating depression. BUT I Like to have fun and do spontaneous things.
I am a both a proud Wife & Mother. I have an understanding of who I am and what I want. I’ve learned what it is to be treated well. I can appreciate life and the small things.
I pride myself on being able to accept that I have made mistakes and learned from them and that I must start to love myself more for who I am and start to make improvements & corrections in my life.
WHY I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE
I am passionate about empowering others and inspiring others to live a life of intention, positivism and abundance.
I’m a morning person and organizational freak!
I believe that with a vision and the purest of intention, we can manifest a life that feels the most authentic and fulfilling to us. I’m a strong believer in transparency and of just being yourself!
Sharing all parts of me and my life, because that is what is real. The ups and downs, and showing myself in all of my authentic glory and just owning it. There is nothing wrong with that!
People need to realize that one can have a perfect and happy life even if one still experiences the good and bad things that come with it. Life and balance is about accepting every single part of your life as it is.
Allowing ourselves to process our emotions, good and bad, and reflecting on it. Turning negatives into positives and squeezing whatever good you can out of every situation life throws you into.
THE GOAL OF MY PARTICIPATION HERE IS ...
A - I began crocheting when a was a child -taught by my mother- and I must say I wasn’t enthusiastic about crocheting then. My first Project was a couple of doilies to decorate my bedroom with.
As I grew older I did not crochet for many years. Life happened, College, started working, getting married to my soulmate and later giving birth to two healthy perfect boys made me lose interest in crocheting.
But then, and in 2015, inspired by some lovely crochet blogs, I picked up my hook again and began crocheting. It was a relaxing therapy and it quieted my “noisy” brain and allowed me to make beautiful works of Art.
I will be sharing crochet patterns for all skill levels and more about the patterns and supplies I love.
I am not a designer but I create from patterns, paid or free, from Crochet Designers that I love.
B - On another but also very important note I strongly believe that balance is vital and key to long term happiness. I'll admit that I haven't quite figured out how to stay balanced at 100% in my daily life —but I’m constantly working on it.
So be it work, play, fitness, health, indulgences — it’s all about finding a balance that keeps you healthy, happy, and driven. Skimp out on one thing and you’ll likely pay for it in some way or another later.
So I'm hoping that I'll be able to inform, enlighten and entertain you here if ...
- You long to make things with your hands just like your grandma did but you don’t necessarily want those things to look like they belong in your grandma’s house. (Although I’m sure it’s lovely.)
- You like "Bookmarking" but you love making even more.
- You want an express reference of supplies you will need for your project.
- Maybe grab some of my tips on a balanced life that I have learned in all these years and am still learning.
- Or take a peak at my Photography.....
So … grab a cup of coffee or tea, look around, and hopefully you’ll find some crochet inspiration or learn something new throughout my Blog.
