This is a reasonable place to start, right? Why? Well, I suppose I’m a girl who has things to say. I have ideas and thoughts to share. For some reason, I believe this leg of my journey is worthy documenting, beyond the covers of my journal.

Some who know me personally might use the words pessimistic, even negative to describe me. I’ve always preferred realist. I usually see what is, especially if the glass is half empty. However, I’ve come to realize I don’t always see all there is. Sometimes I miss what else is in front of me. Sometimes I miss the beauty and love found in the little things. If I’m honest, I can miss the beauty in the big things too. And I certainly struggle with seeing love or beauty in the hard. So about a year ago, I decided to practice slowing down to soak in and acknowledge the present joys. Recently, I decided to share that with you.

That my friend, is the why.
