It's weird that it has only been three weeks since I decided to venture out into the blogging world. Honestly, it seems like a long time coming really. Well, I'm here now and I'm excited to do this. Thanks again for coming along for the ride...
I thought I'd start my first post with a poem. Well, it's not just a poem, but also the inside of a card given to me by my grandmother on my last birthday. I actually have the card taped to the mirror in my bathroom, so that when life throws me some curve balls (which inevitably it does), I can read it and be reminded of what really matters. I hope it is as much of an inspiration to you, as it is for me...

“Live deep. Never stop learning, playing, or finding wonder in the world around you. Live the length of your life, but live the depth of it as well.
Travel light. There is no use in carrying around worry and regret. They only weigh you down. Always keep yourself open to hope and to love. They give us wings.
Forgive imperfections in yourself and others. Imperfections keep things interesting. They’re the cracks where the light shines through.
Own beautiful things. And not just to keep in the drawer, tucked away for a perfect day. Surround yourself with things that make you happy, that remind you of the beauty all around us if we only keep our eyes open to it.
Make mistakes. Follow detours. Sometimes it takes an unexpected turn to help us find the life that is waiting for us around the bend. Trust yourself and the path that is meant for you.
Take care of yourself. And sometimes that means you need the ice cream. Be good to your body, but also to your mind and spirit. You’re the only one who can.
And always, always know you are loved! You are a gift to this world and a blessing to me. And that will never change.”
My grandma is one smart cookie, and I'm pretty sure that I'm the one who is blessed...
