                           Why I Started Blogging            

Hey my lovely readers, hope you are well.


I thought I'd do this blog on the reasons why I started blogging and why I love writing so much. I started 'Reach For The Stars With Abbie' in 2015 but I had a smaller blog before that so I'd say I have been blogging for about 7 years. In that time I have wrote about so many different topics and important moments in my life. I have loved writing each and every one of them!

When I started blogging, I think I wanted to explain the different things that went on in my life as a teenager with a disability. I loved explaining my disability and I wanted to blog about subjects around that. Then I was able to come up with more interesting subjects when I knew what the main purpose was for my blog. So I think this is why I started to write. 

Writing has always been a love of mine, whether it's a blog, a story or something else, I just love jotting my ideas down and making it into a piece of writing. Writing always makes me feel positive as it has always been more of a hobby rather than something I have to do. So therefore I love writing as it brings a smile to my face. Also everyones feedback is always lovely to receive and I like getting ideas from people.
  
Blogging makes me stop to think when I am really busy, I like blogging as its lovely to let everyone know what I've been up to or I like giving sharing positivity with people. I think I love to blog when I've tried something new or have something to share, these are amazing to write as I love sharing about something I have done or offer out any information or advice to anyone who needs it. Sometimes it's even nice to do just a hello blog and check in with the amazing people who takes the time out to read my blogs.

Writing blogs can be challenging when you are trying to think of what to write as I don't want it to sound boring, and I have to be mindful of what I have written in previous blogs so it doesn't sound repetitive. I love writing blogs when I love the subject, I think the more I love the subject, the more its easier to write about. I enjoy being creative with my writing so I always try to make it fun and interesting to read and make my audience want to interact and extract something from it, whether it is just for enjoyment or they can learn something from it. I try to write a wide range of blogs so there's something to interest everyone.

Another reason is, I have always been interested in writing as I find it really therapeutic as I love explaining the reasons of the topic I am writing about. I like giving people something exciting to read and be able to allow them to learn something or take something from the piece of writing. Also I just love writing about things that matters to me and I like sharing these things as it may help someone that reads my blogs. I do sometimes put myself in the readers shoes and think about different topics to interest people to read more of my blogs.  

I never find the actual blog hard to write, I just really struggle sometime with what to base it on because I don't want to sound like I am repeating myself in blog to blog. I sometimes get stage fright about posting if it is slightly out of my comfort zone. Once I have the subject that I want to write about, I find it easier then to plan out what I want to write in the blog. Now I have written quite a few blogs, I have got into a rhythm and a pattern about how I like to write, and what sort of things does well and maybe things that doesn't do quite as well. I like experimenting with my blogs to see how the different subjects work.

So in a nutshell, I started to blog because I find writing so fascinating and I just love to share positivity to all of my lovely readers! Writing my blogs always make me smile and I hope make others smile too!!

As always, thanks for reading 

Abbie

Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled! Part 1

  Get Over Yourself ... We're Only Disabled  Hey my lovely readers... Hope you are well. As some of you may know, I wrote a book a few years ago however, I couldn't get my head around getting it published so I thought long and hard about how to share it with you all. Therefore, I thought about sharing one chapter a week on my blog, so this week I will publish the "All About Me" and the first chapter.   This was written in 2018, so some of details may not correspond to what you know of me today. All about me: Abbie Smart Hi, my name is Abbie Smart.  I was diagnosed with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy at the age of one, after I had a fit when I was born.  It was recognised because I wasn’t reaching my milestones, such as crawling, walking at all or talking as well as I should have been.  I am a wheelchair user and I use a walker.  I drive my own wheelchair and have done since I was 6 or 7 years old.  I attended mainstream primary and secondary school and have achieved 5 G

A Year Of Adaptive CrossFit

  A Year Of Adaptive CrossFit  Hi my lovely readers, I hope you are well.  I know I have done a blog like this before, but I realised that I have been attending my adaptive CrossFit class for a year now, so I thought about doing a blog post about how I am finding it.    I can't  believe it has been a year already, it has a gone so quickly, I have the best time in the sessions and achieved so much in a short space of time, it has been incredible.     Over the past year, I have loved going to the adapted classes, I have enjoyed meeting new people with a wide range of disabilities that have become very good friends. Also I have been able to become stronger in my workouts and been able to achieve things that I felt that it wouldn't have been possible, for example, trying out my friends Rollator. This was one my many highlights of the year ! All of the sessions has made me feel stronger and more mobile. It has helped me to branch out socially with people with a wide range of disabil

My Time With Whizz-Kidz

           My Time With Whizz-Kidz Hi, my lovely  readers, hope you are well.   After my 26th birthday, I moved on from a wonderful charity that  supports children and young people called  Whizz-Kidz, as  I  have grown out of their  age bracket.  However I couldn’t finish this amazing charity without writing a blog about how great my experience has been over the years and talk about the fantastic support I have been given over the years from the start, whether this is support with equipment or help with work placements.   I have absolutely loved working the staff and meeting lots of people with similar disabilities as me, as well as learning about different disabilities along the way.  When I think back on what I have achieved during my time at Whizz-Kidz, I think of the successful work placements which I did face-to-face or online via Zoom. Especially when we were in lockdown, Whizz-Kidz kept me very busy either with a work placement which I completed online, or with a intriguing club
