About 10 years ago I had an idea to start a blog called "Evolution of an Ecowarrior". I wanted to write about the small changes you could make to your lifestyle to become more environmentally friendly without succumbing to the "smelly hippy" stereotype (not that there's anything wrong with being a smelly hippy - you do you girl!).
Sadly I never wrote the blog, I've always had a bit of a fear of putting my thoughts down on paper. A fear of ridicule by others, but mostly myself, if and when I subsequently grow and perhaps change my views. Writing things down always seems so final to me, I tend to be very black and white, in search of the "perfect version" of me. Everything is either right or wrong. If it's not "right" then it must be "wrong" and I didn't want there to be hard evidence of me being "wrong". Anyway, I digress. A lot has changed in 10 years. The public consciousness of environmental issues has been awakened and shows little sign of slowing down. Many, many people have written blogs far more eloquently than I ever could, yet I hope my experience can add to the wealth of information out there. I guess I have been evolving ever since I had the idea 10 years ago and I hope I can share some of what I've learnt with you for your own journey. Writing this, despite every fibre of my being screaming that I'm going to embarrass myself, is growth; is healing; is evolution. And I want to share my journey with you as authentically as possible, warts and all! So here's to the first step... may there be many more to come.
