Me and My Journey

My Story

Hi, friends!

I’m Mindy, the creator of Peaceofmind.y.

After going through a lot of life changes and a pandemic, I had to find an outlet for my mental health. I found that being in nature helped clear my mind and brought me a sense of peace and calmness. I started hiking and adventuring as much as life allowed and found a passion I didn’t know I had. After a few years of posting about my journey on my personal page, and with the support of family and friends, I decided that I would share my adventures, my photography, and some personal writing pieces on a blog and now Peaceofmind.y is here.

Biography

2023 – forward: Living in the Moment

Although life has been busy, I am slowly updating my blog and social media with inspiration and adventures. I have continued to explore all over Maine and now even outside of the United States. Exploring new places has become a new norm for me and I am so happy that I am able to share my experiences. I am slowly discovering the beauty of this world and it has been an incredible journey thus far.

2022 : Peaceofmind.y Was Created

After finding ways to heal myself and create my own happiness, along with the support of family and friends, I decided that I would share my experiences. I would write about my adventures, I would share my photography, and I’d even get a little more personal and write about my journey and feelings. This is how Peaceofmind.y was born.

2019 – 2021 : Finding Myself

After starting over I needed to find things that brought me happiness – things that helped me grow, learn, heal, and find peace within. Whenever I spent time outside – whether it be at the ocean, on a nature walk, or hiking a big mountain – I felt free and like a weight was lifted off my shoulders. Whenever I was having a hard time and went on a adventure, it was like nothing else mattered and I could clear my head. This is when I found that spending time in nature was healing for me. So, I decided to continue to explore as much as I could.

2018 : The Journey Began

I never thought that I would be where I am today after the continuous obstacles that I’ve faced. When everything changed and I was on my own for the first time in my life I felt so many things, but the biggest feeling I felt was lost. I had no idea what to do or where to go, all I knew was that this was a fresh start, and I had to do everything and anything I could to make it count. If I was going to grow, I needed to learn what was preventing me from doing so. As Alexander Den Heijer said, “When a flower doesn’t bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.” So I did. I left the toxic environment in which I called home, I set boundaries with the toxic people in my life, I focused on myself, and I started over.
