A Beginning

Hello! This isn't my first time in the blogosphere, but it is my first time in a long time beginning a new blog, a new writing adventure. Let me introduce myself... I am Joel, a registered medical herbalist from New Zealand, who works full-time in his natural health clinic.

I love my business... while it is nice to work for oneself, it is also so much more work than having a regular job.

My decision to begin blogging again is because I often find myself with certain thoughts, musings, ideas, and nowhere to really communicate or talk about them in my day-to-day life.

Without talking the ear off my partner, my dogs, and anyone who happens to walk past my office, that is.

Myself raising a glass (containing some bitter herbal concoction...)

So this is a beginning.

A small beginning, with no promises, commitments, or pressure. 

Some things you need to do for yourself. 

And this is my promise to myself for 2016... to do more for myself.

Feed myself, nourish myself, inspire myself, support myself, back myself up, and make sure I am full and happy before running around, looking after others. 

I ended up very sick over the Christmas/New Year's holiday, mostly because I was so run down looking after the business, my clients, my family, and keeping everything "together" inside myself. 

Not a very holistic way of living life, is it? 

So I look forward to continuing this blog journey, however long or short, and seeing where it leads me. 

See you later!
