the sits girls and me.

Hello sitstas! I’m feeling soooo special today as I’ve been featured on the incredible SITS website. I’m feeling like this beautiful flower that I captured in a shoot. Oh, it most definitely feels like it’s an “all about me” kind of day! See me smiling, dancing, and twirling. Yep, it’s my day!

I’ve waited for my SITS Day forever. Trust me – this is a BIG-as-Texas deal! What’s SITS you ask? It’s a community of 15,000 women who believe that the Secret to Success is Support and believe me they have supported me in this crazy world of blogging.

Positively Alene the blog is all about encouraging you (sssssh – and myself) to live our lives intentionally with purpose. While a lot of days we accomplish much, it’s those days when you need a little extra motivation that I hope to spur you on, which also spurs me on.

Where did the name come from? For most of my life I wanted to be everybody else and never thought I had much to offer. I finally realized I was living life as a copycat and decided to take the challenge to live as “positively myself” and it’s been a wild journey ever since. More here.

I’m totally honored you are stopping by today. If you are here for the first time, welcome! If you were at my physical home I’d have you come in and we’d chat over some south Texas iced tea. Y’all, please browse around, be encouraged, and motivated to live life purposefully.

Most importantly though, I’d rather hear from you:

What encourages you here at Positively Alene?

Have you ever wanted to be someone else?

Are you struggling to know your purpose?

Now that we know a little bit about each other, I hope we can keep in touch. Follow me on Facebook and Twitter. I’ll follow back. Oh and don’t forget to sign up for my newsletter over there in the right hand column. Good things are coming!

It’s been such an honor to be featured and even more so that you came to visit! I’m so thankful to you my loyal readers and to you my new friends. What an awesome way to spend a Wednesday!

  2. Happy SITS Day, Alene! First off, let me say that I LOVE that you’re from Texas! :) I could always use a little extra motivation and I’m so glad to have found your blog today!

    • I still can’t believe you are a teenager. You inspire me. My daughter just started blogging – I can’t wait to see the journey before her.

  3. I need to hang around here more often. I”m getting better about living my life for me (and my kids) instead of like everyone else, but some days, it’s hard!

    Happy SITS Day!

    • Yep – living life on purpose with focus is hard. That’s because the world and others are constantly demanding our time and energies! Glad to have you here.

    • Oh – thank you for the nice comment love and encouragement! Always needing that.

  14. Congrats on your SITS Day! I don’t know if I’m trying to figure out my purpose or what – I just try to be the best me I can be. Is that a purpose? Or too vague?
