Full disclosure: I’m not really sure if I’m doing this right.

A blog is something I have contemplated doing for a long time. In fact, I have had this domain set up for almost a year now, with nothing on it. Why? Because I wanted everything to be perfect. I wanted to wait until I thought of the perfect name, found the best theme, wrote the most inspiring and interesting first post.

But if I know one thing for sure, it’s this: nothing is ever perfect. While I was waiting for the stars to align, other people were doing the very things I wanted to do and seeing success. I realized that the storied Facebook motto was true, “Done is better than perfect.”

It may just be the exuberance of a new year talking, but I am ready to take a leap and make room in my life for big things to happen. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking, dreaming, and talking about my goals for the future. It’s time to make those goals a reality.

So here I am. I never did come up with a better name, my WordPress knowledge is still limited, and I’m quickly discovering that writing an amazing first post is a lot more difficult than it seemed — especially when you’re suffering from a cold/flu. Still, I am proud of myself for writing SOMETHING. And I’m sure that my writing will get better with practice, which means there will be a lot more posts coming your way.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read this. I hope to use this blog as a space to share the benefits of Pilates, as well as my own thoughts and experiences with the method. I really can’t stress enough how good Pilates, and the principles behind it, can make you feel. The body, mind, spirit connection that Pilates promotes can change your life. I look forward to sharing all of this, and more, with you.

Here’s to a happy, healthy, and wonderfully fulfilling 2015!
