It's Time to Get Started!

 And just like that, I'm writing my first Blog.

Everyone has to start somewhere! And that's what I hope to share with you today: The ability to MOVE and make things happen.

Hi, my name is Lacie. If we know each other, thanks so much for your support and for reading my blog! If you are just meeting me now for the first time, welcome. If you are looking for a safe space where you can learn and grow, while being a little eccentric and a tiny bit crazy---You've found a great landing zone!

So where do we start? Not at the VERY beginning; that would be a very long story and we'd all fall asleep. But let's go a few years back for sure. Let's go back to the year 2017, when I first discovered the world of YouTube videos and my love for video-editing. I stumbled across a video of a family who was living in an RV fulltime, and traveling across the country. What?! I didn't know that was a thing! And suddenly I found my new dream. I quickly got the rest of my family on board, and within the next year we took the first step. We bought an RV (the largest one we could find), packed up all of the stuff inside of our 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom duplex; sold and donated most of it; and made the leap into tiny living!

This is where my dream was born. This is where I discovered my name, "Living One Day Today" and found my new path. I was done saying these four words: "One day I will . . ." I was ready to take the world and my dreams by storm, and no one was going to stop me.

Well. Maybe no person was going to stop me. However, the fact that we didn't have a truck that could pull the RV did cause a delay. But I was determined not to let that keep me from taking action. 

If you haven't figured it out yet, "Living One Day Today" is more than just a name. It's my theme song! (Hmmm... I should write a theme song.) The purpose behind the name is choosing to start living today! Whatever your dream, whatever your goal, you have to start somewhere. Why not here? Why not now? Whether it's making a list or an outline; purchasing your domain name; or writing your first Blog! At some point you have to take steps toward your goals; otherwise they will always remain dreams---unattainable, always out of reach.

Let's fast-forward to 2023 and I'll give you a spoiler: We never did get to travel the country in our RV. Why? Because we could never afford to buy the truck! But that didn't stop us from enjoying every moment of RV life. Living in our RV gave us the opportunity to live on my Nana's property so that we could spend more quality time with her. We enjoyed all 3 years of living tiny! But another spoiler: in 2020 my husband and I got divorced. And that's the kind of thing that rocks your whole family's world and changes everything.

Well, almost everything. It hasn't changed the spirit of who I am. Once again, there were delays. But always in the back of my mind I was making tiny choices and tiny steps towards my next goal. My ultimate goal to be financially stable for my kids (I have a daughter in college now, and that is NOT cheap) with the freedom to spend more time with them. To choose who I surround myself with, and who I spend the majority of my time with.

And that's why I am here today! Just before midnight on a Friday night, at the end of the work week. Writing my first personal blog. Making changes and choices towards building my own personal brand. So that I can teach you (and hopefully many others in the years to come) how to take your dreams by storm! To build your brand, and live your "one day" TODAY!
