Do You Know Who You Are? An Interview with Self

8/5/2019

 
PictureLa Alberca, Spain
Whoosh!  I've been blogging for over six years (Single Sojourner), and now I am half a year in to my "rebranded" blog (Start with a Grateful Heart); and I couldn't be more excited!   

It's taken me a bit of time to really determine my purpose, my audience, and my business plan.   

Check out this interview I had with myself!  If you are new to business and you are now chasing your bliss with more determination than ever, use these 10 questions to help you better define what you're all about!

Q1:  What makes you unique as a Christian blogger?
A:  Folks say that I am transparent, down-to-earth, real, and that I really put the practical applications into play in my Christian walk.  Some find this really encouraging and uplifting.  They see me in my struggles and how I'm working hard to overcome toxic thinking, yet they also see that although my life takes many twists and turns, my faith and reliance on God persists.

Q2:  Why the website and blog rebranding?
A:  In the last three years, I have been working really hard to overcome toxic thinking and mindsets.  I wanted a new website name that best captured what has helped me the most to beat mood swings and depression (and menopause!).  To Start with a Grateful Heart is the key in my opinion to healthy thinking and daily living.  

Q3:  How do you best define yourself?
A:  I am an educator, speaker, and writer.  I am a mom and grandmother, a daughter, a sister, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a dog owner.  [Have you seen Rico the MorKY?]  And it goes without saying that I am a Daughter of the King.  God is who gives me my identity and purpose.  I long to operate fully in the giftings He has bestowed upon me.   

Q4: What is your life or aGH ministry mission?
A:  My mission is basically 3-pronged: 
  • to encourage others to re-frame their thinking with God’s help in order to live healthy, whole, authentic lives filled with gratitude and lasting happiness 
  • to glorify God one thought at at time, to be real and transparent in my faith-filled life
  • to share my story in writing, teaching, and coaching of my triumph over toxic thinking, sporadic depression, and an emotionally driven life

Q5:  Who is your audience?
A:  In a broad sense, basically anyone who needs encouragement and motivation.  Those are my strong suits.  In a more specific slant, Christian women, 20's and above.  I've had the privilege of mentoring a few young mothers as well as conducting my first 7-Day Challenge where I had the opportunity to serve as a "life" coach.  Set the date: Another Challenge coming in November!

Q6:  What are your pastimes and hobbies? 
A:  Mostly I love spending time with my family, writing, reading, studying, playing board games, walking, loving on Rico the MorKY, hiking, and traveling.

Q7:  What is your long-term professional goal?
A:  Although I LOVE teaching Spanish at the university level, I would love to flip things around and to transition to full-time ministry and part-time teaching.  I am starting that transition now.   

Q8:  What are your short-term ministry/business goals?
  • Be consistent and show up as expected
  • Build audience and email list
  • Keep running and revising the FREE 7-Day Challenge with hopes of monetizing into online course 
  • Continue to generate and distribute FREE content like crazy!
  • Write 2 booklets (underway now - one on menopause and the other a travel devo)

Q9:  What can your readers or followers expect?
A:  Consistency on my part.  I aim to show up via the blog and with a YouTube video once a week.  I publish a monthly newsletter and give away free content (usually a downloadable worksheet or two).  Each day, I create a "gratitude" image with a message to encourage and motivate (posted on Fb and the Gram).   Also, there is the 7-Day Challenge - a crash course in jump starting your #1 goal!  

Q10.  What might your readers do to help you?
A:  I could really  use help, and it would only take seconds!  
  • Like Start with a Grateful Heart Facebook web page and share the postings
  • Follow victoriadwalker on Instagram, like and share (I love to photograph my beautiful Midway, horses, Rico, travels :) 
  • Subscribe to my YouTube channel, view, like, and share
  • Visit my website and join my monthly newsletter mailing list where you will receive updates and free monthly "content / downloadables." 
  • Please, please pray for me and my ministry Start with a Grateful Heart.   I am really excited about what the Lord is doing in my life, but I am more jazzed about how I might encourage others in this journey.   It's basically the heartbeat of this ministry.  I've tripped and fallen quite a bit in my Christian walk, but God proves Himself faithful time and time again.  We are in this together.  Come walk along side me - I would love to do life with you!
