Hi! I’m Jade.
There are many paths in my life that have brought me to where I am today, and that is something that I truly cherish within me.
Every decision that I’ve made, every goal that I’ve pursued (even the failed ones!) have led to me where I need to be. Right here, with this blog.
After meeting the love of my life and consequently moving away to be with him, I wanted to redefine my career path.
I didn’t want to return to the 9-5 grind as we all know, but instead I wanted to do something that incorporated the many passions that I had and more importantly, I wanted to help people. I wanted to have a more meaningful existence.
Originally, my plan was to only write on this blog about personal finance tips because I am really good with money. I stopped blogging a
I ended up working from home as a transcriber, but the pay wasn’t good enough to make up for the number of hours I was putting in.
After that, I tried opening an online drop-shipping store, thinking that my background in customer service would pay off, but after a month, something still didn’t feel right.
I thought about returning to my blog, thinking that I just needed to figure out what exactly I wanted to blog about and then things would maybe start to make sense.
It was a long mental process after that, thinking of my passions, my skills, my goals, and ultimately what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. What could I do for these years to come that is encompassing me and all that I am and aspire to be?
I’ve always loved nature. Some of my greatest adventures were the ones I took solo, just myself, my camera and the forest around me. I’m also incredibly mindful of the fact that there’s so much that we’re doing wrong in regards to our planet, and that there’s so much that we can do to make it right.
As I took myself on this self-searching journey, it was then that I realized just how much all the passions in my life finally came together.
My love for writing, photography, and the environment can be combined into my little online world, and I can share it with others so they can start living a better life, for themselves and for our Mother Earth.
And so, Mindful of the Home was born, focusing on creating a more eco-friendly home, and sharing the many ways that you can make that possible. From living a more sustainable life in general, being conscious of your purchases and the products you use, ways to reuse and upcycle, and more.
