So, now you know a bit more about me, it’s time to tell a bit more about Nicky Goes Natural. We’ve done the who, now on to the what & why!
What is Nicky Goes Natural? Well, it started as an email address, actually. Then a facebook page. Now a website & blog. But it’s actually just a place for me to tell my story, to share the crazy thoughts in my head and new things I’ve tried (ones that work and ones that don’t!). I’m hoping it will help grow into a fun thing that will help others too.
Why Nicky Goes Natural? Because I’m a sucker for alliteration! (I have an alarming alliteration addiction?) The “goes” bit is to show that it is a “journey” (cue lame music). This doesn’t come natural to me. I’m not a hippy, & I confess that there was a time when I would have laughed at such things. Being involved in the essential oils world there are still things that I raise my eyebrow at but I can accept that while I may not understand it (or just plain think it’s weird), there may come a time when I understand it better, or “get it”. So, I’m open to personal evolution. But it’s okay to not be ready for everything all at once. As I have been willing to try one thing, I’ve been able to see for myself if it “works”. As the successes increase, it helps me be brave enough to try the next thing. I was talking about oils the other day, and someone asked me how I knew that they worked.
A: Because I tried them.
I hope to inspire you to try new things too.
It would be wrong not to tell you about my blogger inspiration, as it was part of my reasons for doing this. I found a blog & listened to the podcast of a lady named Dana White. Her blog is called “A slob comes clean”. I forgot to mention in my last post, that, unfortunately, I am a “slob”. Listening to her story helped me so much. She started a “practice” blog to help her “deslobifiation process”. She wrote about trying to get a grip on housework, when she was the complete opposite of an expert in that field. By the time I found her (after much searching and failing to find something), she was an inspiration to tens of thousands of “slobs”, and her first book was being published. One of the many reasons this helps me, is to show me that I can write about things that I am not an expert about. I can learn “with” you guys, as I go along. And maybe, even if I don’t inspire tens of thousands of people trying to live better, if I help even one person, “great shall be my joy”. I will find a way to link to her blog, I promise.
Edit: Found the way! (I told you I was learning…)

Just one more for now – When? At the moment, I’m planning on publishing one post a week, currently on a Friday. But, that may also evolve as I learn more about how this works.
Come back next week to find out “how” it all started! Thanks for popping by.
