hello blog world

hello friends!!  welcome to my new adventure!  i'm really super excited and kind of nervous to start this blog.  i always thought that i would be that one mormon girl to hold out on making a blog and stay the most private person ever but alas i feel like i've been sucked into the blog vortex...and that is NOT a bad thing at all.  i always felt like my life was way too boring and uninteresting to write about.  then i realized that i could use a blog to help me accomplish something, and someone writing about goals and achievements is definitely more interesting than just....my everyday-boring life.  SO HERE GOES!  

so the idea of this blog is that i will post at least 2 inspirational quotes a week (wednesday and sunday), mostly religious, and then i will discuss my feelings about it and then possibly provide further reading on the subject or a song or video.  i chose to do this because, really and truly, i need to study my scriptures, general conference talks, and ways of bettering myself WAY more than i do now.  it's totally selfish, i'll admit it.  but then again, i'm hoping that in some way it becomes a benefit to others from reading it and contemplating and pondering things that are discussed here.  this is also open for anyone to comment with their feelings, experiences, and questions but also know this is a no-hate zone.  if i find any comments hateful, or with ill feelings i will delete it, it's just the way i am.  poking and prodding with the intention to make someone look bad or hurt someone is just not acceptable to me.  this is a place for me to learn and express myself and hopefully have others do the same, in a healthy, safe environment.  i will also post other things about my life too that i want to share; good recipes, fun crafts, pictures that i take (i just say that cause i'm not a photographer and definitely can't claim to be one), cat things, probably lots of Disney stuff that i'm obsessed with, who knows!  we'll see where it takes me!  

so i'll leave this post at that and hope that maybe one day someone else will look at this besides me and that we can all do little things in our lives every day to make ourselves a little better.
