I feel, as if it were yesterday when I published my first piece, “Hello World.” As a matter of fact, I’ve been publishing for exactly three months never missing a single week.

This blog has been a blessing for me. First of all, it has me writing again-one of my loves. Some time ago, I edited an online blog and had lots of fun helping to run it. However, I let life get in the way of creating and I didn’t realize how much I missed it, until I made the decision to launch this blog. Since that moment, I haven’t looked back. I love sharing resources that I’ve come across that have benefited me and I have the same hope for you.

Also, in writing about the self-help/self-improvement stuff, it has motivated me to make changes in my life. It takes considerable discipline to have a full-time job, in addition to having this blog and continuously generating content. Also, it’s one thing to write about certain improvement practices. It’s a whole different thing to do them. The consistent output and implementing the self-improvement practices keeps me honest and it shows that if I, as a regular person, can do these things, then so can you.

However, I came to find that the self-help/self-improvement sphere seems pretty saturated. I felt that there was part of my voice that I wasn’t expressing. In that blog that I mentioned editing, the focus was generating content for Latinos and people interested in Latino culture. What feels better to me is blending that self-help/self-improvement content but coloring with a more Latino flavor. There are various issues that are important to me and I am sure matter to others as well. I felt that it was wrong not to discuss them.

In my original piece, “Hello World,” I talked about freedom of expression, self-examination, asking the right questions, and, most important, how the blog is a work in progress. If I need to make any changes to the blog name or catchphrase, I will make them as quickly as possible. I respect you enough to make it as clear as possible, where I intend on going. I hope that you stay with me. However, I can, also, if it’s not your thing. If things do change for you, then we’ll be here to help you pick up where you left off.

I can’t say that the idea of revamping isn’t scary. However, I don’t look at it as a risk because this wasn’t a haphazard decision. It’s something that I thought about doing and I asked the advice of people close to me that I trust deeply. All of them gave me thumbs up.

So with this, I jump into the abyss and am nervously yet optimistically curious to see where this takes me. I am ready. Are you, too?
