Hi! My name is Michaela, and I’m the
owner and author of this blog What Works
for You. So far, I only have recipes posted on this blog. I did that so
that I can store family recipes online on Pinterest so that if something were
to happen that I’d lose the original copies or I’d lose what I typed on my
laptop, I could go to my Pinterest profile and redownload them, or actually, I
could download them from my blog. However, I liked having all the recipes I’ve
tried and liked on a specific board on Pinterest.
Anyway! I want to write a blog for two reasons: 1. A
personal diary of sorts but more so 2. To make people feel less alone in the
struggles that come with life. I chose my blog title as a reference to a quote
by Amy Poehler.
I didn’t want the title of my blog to be too close to her
quote and then have some sort of copyright issues. I even considered sending
Amy Poehler or her agent or whoever it is the general public can contact when
wanting to get in touch with her to ask for permission for use my rendition of
her quote as my blog title. As if Amy Poehler’s got to worry about little ol’ me.
You never know. I’m sure many people who end up making it big haven’t always
expected it. Hoped for it maybe but knew it would happen? Probably not the
majority.
And this quote seems relevant for my blog because even
though I want my posts to help people feel less alone in their problems, I
don’t want them to think that when I overcome my problems, this is the only way
to do it. “Oh, she’s overcome her problem, but I haven’t because I haven’t done
what she has.” No, different things work for different people. Take my
successes as, “Hey, she was where I was and got out of it. Not only am I the
only one who struggles with this, but there are ways out of it.” The ways out
of it don’t always look the same, but nothing lasts forever, y’all.(:
That sounds like a good place to end my introductory post.(;
This is the second time I write my introductory post. The first time I wrote
this post, I was in a REALLY good mood. Like, not even myself good. I mean, I
want to feel good, but I read what I had written and cringed. I cringed at
myself!
And with the publishing of this post comes the promoting of
it, which means my social media break must be over to some degree. Ugh. I mean,
technically it ended today because I wanted to stalk “research” someone on
Facebook and challenge myself to taking more interesting pictures for streaks
on Snapchat than I’ve seen people send to my sister.
Have I scared what little audience I had away yet? No?
There’s still one of you out there? Hey! Hi! Thanks for being here. Oh, this is
going to be so much fun, huh?(;
