I’ve decided to redo this website in an effort to better align the look and feel of this space with who I am and what I want to write about.  When I first began Igniting Your Life I was coming out of a dark period in my life and therefore the look and feel of the space was dark and almost heavy feeling.

As I’ve gone along I don’t believe that this matches who I am and what I want to write about.  I talked a lot about survival and getting through or getting by.  Now my focus is more on loving life and thriving on your own terms, not survival.  I believe life is not just here to be survived, but experienced, savoured and enjoyed.  There will be hard times but they don’t always have to be what defines you.  You have choices and it’s what you do with those choices that define you.

And so in keeping with this lightness and brightening in both my life and my writing, this site has gotten a big makeover.  I’ve changed platforms and have opted to move away from Squarespace.  I found it to be a wonderful place to write and to be, but it wasn’t quite fitting me anymore.  I would highly recommend it to anyone, especially those looking for an easy platform to work with.  I loved it.  It just no longer suits me.

You will also noticing that my writing has changed over the last few months.  I endeavour to write from a more personal place.  I kept you at arms length out of fear of revealing too much of myself.  Now I’m trying to welcome you into my life a bit more, open up and be more vulnerable.  I don’t deal well with vulnerability, being too exposed has me running in fear.  My hope in presenting a more real, exposed self and being more personal in my writing is to show you that you are not alone.  Your emotions, feelings, fears and triumphs are there for everyone.  That we all deal with similar things and that you have a friend.

I also hope that this new space will give us a better place to converse and allow us to discuss our emotions, feelings and share more.
