You know what’s funny?
In my last post, I said I didn’t want to speak about my personal life—
yet here I am, doing exactly that.
Let me explain.
From the beginning, I want you to understand what my plans are.
There’s a short story behind this site. What I will say is that lydiaherrera.com has been in my heart for at least a decade.
The reason it didn’t launch sooner?
Procrastination ultimately (fear).
But this is why I’m finally moving forward with lydiaherrera.com—
specifically my name, because that is how I’ve always felt it.
I believe I’m on this earth for a divine purpose.
After I leave, it’s not “my legacy” that matters to me;
it’s the God-given purpose that will continue long after I’m gone.
I believe in things that last.
And I can now say that I’ve always felt like Lydia Herrera was a name brand.
That feeling hasn’t gone away.
It’s actually gotten stronger, and that excites me.
I don’t think it comes just from me—
I think it comes from something greater.
In my last post, I wrote about how every so often,
I sit quietly, close my eyes, and ask myself one question:
If I had no obligations, what would I truly be doing with my life?
And one of the things I admitted was that the only reason I want to be online is to help people in a specific way.
And Lydia Herrera is the way I choose to do that,
even though I’m naturally an introvert with a little mix of ambivert in me.
I prefer to “hide” behind the screen 🤦🏻,
mostly out of comfort.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had a job,
and so I also prefer it that way.
Quite honestly, I’m okay with that.
LydiaHerrera.com completely works for me.
I created lydiaherrera.com with the end in mind.
When I’m old—100+ years old—
I imagine the only section I’ll still be writing on
is the “Lydia” section.
That space is meant for personal updates.
Not just “my life,”
but the kind of life that carries experience,
lessons,
and hopefully something you can take with you to grow.
I want Lydia Herrera to always feel personal.
It’s funny because I’m not very personal…
until I suddenly am,
with the very few I trust.
The categories on the site are simply things that interest me.
(And here I go again, revealing more about myself.)
Once the site grows, others can take over those sections.
But Lydia—the heart and the personal voice—will stay mine.
Because I want this site to feel warm, not distant.
The goal isn’t just to survive monetarily;
it’s to live fully—
internally and externally.
With purpose, meaning, authenticity,
happiness, warmth, and depth.
I like to live at the core of things.
I like something solid to stand on.
I like feeling alive, grounded, real.
Because in the end…
you’ll always have Lydia.
..is this really my breakfast? I should add a health and wellness category
