Welcome to this little corner of the internet where you can join me on my journey towards becoming an author (dreaming big here!). This is a new dream for me…but also one that feels like it’s been brewing for a while.
With some 30 years of experience as an overthinker, as soon as I started to panic with how overwhelming this new dream seemed I used some of my hard earned tools (thank you therapy) to nip that spiral in the bud. See I have this tendency to jump from a tiny seedling of an idea to a big picture desired outcome of success – queue feeling overwhelmed! When I stopped the spiraling, I made the decision to do it anyway! As scared as I am, I wanted to go through with it anyway, but I wanted to do in a sustainable way. What did I come up with? Baby steps!
We can begin by doing small things…

The idea being that this blog is the very first baby stepping stone towards finding my voice and honing the craft of storytelling. I am certain that through this journey I will be sharing a lot of me, my inner dialogue, my story. I will need to be vulnerable and open and willing to share – basically kicked out of my comfort zone. This terrifies me so much that I will be telling absolutely no one about it. I feel more comfortable starting off with strangers reading this than the people in my life. Eventually I will let them in on the not so secret “secret”, but for now I’ve chosen to do it this way.
And so the story begins!
Hi, I’m Jess Dawl. You can read more about me in the about me section…when I write it that is. I’ll get there, promise! This is all very new to me and I will be learning as I go. As I said baby steps!
If you want to follow along on this journey, I’ll be linking my socials soon. Join me, I hope we can be friends and discover many new wonders together!
Sending you love & light, hope you have a great day!
