Why not so normal?

Where the name came from and what this is all about.



Why not so normal? Well, for starters, this picture of me is very unedited, no makeup, and I don't personally look at it and feel beautiful but that's the one I'm using to introduce myself because REAL FUCKING LIFE. All these filtered, made up, fancy people out there on the line, you know damn well they don't look like that. I'm going for something totally different here - real life.


But really, "not so normal" came from years of being called not so normal. Most of my life I never felt that different from everyone else, but was always told I was. Never in a mean way (don't worry, people had plenty of other mean things to say), but usually from friends in more of a they didn't totally get me way. Which I understand, I've never really gotten me either. Until recently. Over the past year and a half I've done A LOT of self exploration, confronting issues from my past, learning who I really am and honestly, just growing up. Somewhere in all of that exhausting, messy work (which I'm only just beginning) I started to see some of what makes me not so normal.


A lot of it has come out in how I am building my businesses. I didn't initially see the connection but when you are building something from the ground up and are invested in it heart, mind, body and soul, you start to see the real you and what you're actually made of. What I've found is I'm made of something very different from most entrepreneurs and I have a sneaky suspicion if I would embrace it more, I could in fact change the world.


To be honest, I don't totally know where I am going with this site or blog, but it felt right. I express myself best in writing. I know I have something to offer other weirdos who are trying to build businesses, chase dreams and change the world. And I know I'm not the only not so normal one out there so maybe someone reading this can relate. I'm doing something very unlike me and placing zero expectations on myself or goals for what this might be. I'm doing what I feel pulled to do and trusting what is meant to be will unfold as we go.


So, follow along if you want, let me know if there is something you want me to write about, and let's start posting some more real life selfies and embrace the messy, crazy, not always beautiful but always worth it thing we call life.
