Finding Myself, Again.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, or the blog in this case, I’ve decided to simply dive in and restart after a lengthy hiatus from blogging.  In trying to figure out my angle or niche if you will,  I have done nothing but paralyze myself.  This blog is a big fat metaphor for my life!  Too much thinking and analyzing and not enough doing.  Sound familiar?  I know I’m not alone in trying to make things ‘perfect’ before I’ve actually ever really started or give myself a chance to fail or learn from mistakes.  How can I expect to grow without pushing out of my comfort zone? Well, how!?

All of the advice I’ve read to this point, exchanges I’ve had with trusted friends, observations I’ve made and years of therapy  (yes mom, I’ve gone to therapy and it’s a good thing) have led me to this.  Rather that continuing to compartmentalize my life I’m going to slowly break down walls and allow things to happen outside of my control.  I have a lot to share. I am bursting with thoughts, feelings, fears (so many), creative juices and desires.  I need a place for them to manifest.  And so I present Fiona Finds 2.0.

This is not a self-help blog but if my experiences and musings help you, great!

This is not a fashion blog, but I do and have always loved fashion so I share fashion content.

This is not a travel blog but I lurve to travel, experience other cultures and share places I’ve been and things I’ve done while traveling.  Both with and without kiddos.

This is not a design blog but I appreciate art and design and have studied both.

This is not, I repeat not, a parenting blog but I have two children so parenting is a big part of my life.

Finally, I am not a tastemaker or influencer but if you like my taste and are influenced by my pictures and words, cool, we like some of the same stuff. Instant connection!

One more thing, if it isn’t obvious, this is not a for profit blog.  It’s is just me sitting behind my laptop doing a thing.  If it explodes and becomes the next (insert name of super popular money making blog) I’m OK with that. It means I’ve found my people and I can make a living connecting with you.  That would be pretty awesome. If it’s just me keeping an online journal, that works too.  Are you still with me, despite all of my prefacing?

I’m excited, hopeful and neurotic as a native New Yorker about all of this but here goes nothin’. Thanks for reading.
