Just Do It!

Well, if you’re going to start a blog, you should probably have an amazing intro. And in my case, coming up with said amazing intro will have me sitting in front of my computer, typing out and erasing sentence after sentence, hoping for some stroke of genius to hit. This stroke of genius will produce the best blog introduction EVER.

That would be really nice. 

But in all reality, if this blog is going to be a reflection of our life and the attitude in which we try to live it, I’m just going to have to get over having that amazing intro and just write SOMETHING. As cliché as it sounds, Nike had a good point when they came up with their slogan: Just Do It.

Nothing is going to happen, unless I take action. This goes for writing blog intros and life.

We all have that wish to make positive changes. But making changes in your life can be a struggle, especially when those changes don’t mesh with what is mainstream or our current lifestyle. It can feel overwhelming or like too much effort.

But change requires taking responsibility and action. And if it’s not through our efforts, it is harder to maintain that change or fully appreciate it. As Booker T. Washington says, “Nothing ever comes to one that is worth having, except as a result of hard work.”

And this is where our journey began. It is a journey toward taking responsibility and action to lead a simpler, more natural lifestyle – a lifestyle that is conducive to being good stewards of our bodies and our world.

This blog is a glimpse into that journey. It is a platform to share our experience and to learn from others. We don’t claim to be perfect or experts. We’re just ordinary people, working to do the best we can. And maybe you’re like us, at a crossroads between wanting to make changes and finding it difficult to start. If that’s the case, join us as we take on the challenge and just do it!
