It is not in doing what you like, but in liking what you do that is the secret of happiness.
-J. M. Barrie, Peter Pan
I am…
I’m a daughter, a sister, and a wife. I’m a mom, an aunt, and a teacher. I’m a photographer, a cheerleader from the sidelines, and a chauffeur who gets paid in hugs. I’m a professional coffee drinker who also prioritizes sleep and sunshine. I’m a lover of Jesus, books, and creative projects. I’m a blogger, a writer, a dreamer.
I do…
I do my best writing when my emotions are running the highest, and I do my most creative thinking at the ridiculous hour of ten o’clock p.m. I am both a perfectionist and impulsive. I hate the thought that anyone would read something I wrote that isn’t perfect, but sometimes the words just have to be thrown out there—perfect or not.
I believe…
I believe in God and that his plan for me is better than I could imagine. I believe the grass is greener where you water it and that no one else’s life can be used to compare mine value or accomplishments. I believe that children are worth investing in and people are not perfect. I believe that moms are heroes and crying is good for your soul. I believe there is no such thing as enough clothes, craft supplies, or tattoos, I believe that small towns build character and farmers don’t get enough credit.
This is all of me…
I hope the words on these web pages bring you comfort when you are sad, laugh lines when you are bored, and realness in a world gone crazy.
Be grateful, water your own grass,
…and drink coffee.
