Here we go after spending the past few years well and truly conflicted I think I have finally settled on what direction I want to take this site in. Over the past few years it is safe to say I have grown and changed a lot as a person and the person who started this site has now grown up and found what she really wants to focus on going forward. The slate has been wiped clean and going forward this site is going to be journey focussed! As it is safe to say I am currently on a big journey to transform my life at the moment and that journey is never really going to stop I guess. 

There are going to be a few different areas this site is going to focus on so here are what those areas are and why...

Building my dream

I decided a few months ago I was going to really focus on one thing... building my dream. What is that dream? Well it is to be working in sports, more specifically women's football. I am 100% locked in on this now and this site is going to be somewhere for me to document my journey of building my very own women's football site Edge of the Area and hopefully making a name for myself within the women's game. This is going to play a huge part in this site with content on what I have done for growth, tech I have used, how I am juggling building the dream alongside working my full time job and still having a life. I am really excited to start posting about all this as it is a big part of who I am now and it will be nice to look back on one day when the hard work starts paying off.

Fitness

Whilst I am building the dream I am also trying to lose a fair bit of weight and let me tell you this has been a whole journey for a long time now. I want to document the highs and lows of the journey as I try achieve my end goal weight so other people on a similar journey can see they aren't alone. I need to find a way of keeping on my fitness journey whilst locking in on building my dream as at the end of the day the fitness journey is also going to be a big help in my building the dream as when I lose the weight my confidence should increases and doors should hopefully open.

Finding my style

Now this is actually going to tie in well with the building the dream too as finding my style will help the confidence & hopefully showcase my personality for potential opportunities that the site brings. I want to attend games looking good and feeling good and if I am at a game for a team I don't follow I know what to wear rather than just throwing on any old items. I am going to be documenting on here the whole journey of finding my style to make me happier in my appearance whether it is for football or day to day. 

A bit of lifestyle content

Every now and then I may post something a little bit more lifestyle based, a trip I have been on or a restaurant I have tried. These posts won't be as often as others however, I am really looking forward to adding them in every now and then just for a bit of a change of pace. It will also hopefully help me try new places and things overall, something I really need to start doing.

I guess you could say there is going to be a whole lot of sport coming to the site going forward but I guess that is just the way my life is going at the moment and hopefully documenting the journey is really going to help me be held accountable for giving it my all. I am really excited to seeing what the future of this site holds and to start producing much better quality content for it going forward rather than posting for the sake of it like I have done previously. 

The end of 2026 is going to be great for me and my content and will be a nice little start point for an even bigger 2027 let's do this...

See you soon,

Lucy
