Beginnings

Hello friends! I am so happy you've found my little corner of the internet! 2017 started merely two weeks ago, and it has already brought triumphs and heartaches. I am sure you are all too familiar with what comes along with this time of year. People joining gyms they'll soon leave, health food being raided from the grocery store by people who will still reach for the potato chips, and vows to spend time off of electronics followed the next weekend by watching a whole series of Grey's Anatomy on Netflix. January is a time of growth and resolutions, even if they only last a couple weeks. All of my "New Year's resolutions"-the things I decided to start trying this year-revolve around one word. Creativity. When I was little, I used to love to read. I would read for hours on end, getting lost in every story I could find. As I entered high school, however, my desire to read still remained strong, but my free time started dwindling down. Now, this year, I want to read more books because I want to, not for an assignment. Another resolution is fine tune what I want to do in my life. I want to explore career options, majors, and colleges. I want to make decisions about my life feeling confident and excited. My last and arguably important resolution is one that captures the very essence of the word creativity. I want to create. This little blog of mine, while posts may be far and few between as I get busier, is going to be my way to share a side of myself with others. I am 100% unqualified to start a blog, but I am also 100% passionate. Please allow my growing, messy, grace-embodied website to be a place of comfort and sense of inspiration. I'm not quite sure what all I might talk about, but I know I'm excited to share my favorite aspects of my life with you! I by no means am completely "on trend", but I love all things fashion. Maybe you can follow along for some outfit of the days. While I am no beauty guru, I enjoy pretending to make YouTube tutorials when I'm doing my makeup. Maybe I can teach you a thing or two about beauty. I am no theologian, but I have a heart for the Lord. Maybe you can follow me for your source of grace (haha pun intended). I have not traveled the world, but as summer plans are becoming finalized, I might be able to share with you a sense of adventure. I am definitely not a health mogul. I run (a lot) and eat when I'm hungry, but perhaps when I log on and complain about getting up at 6:00 every morning to workout, you'll want to live a little healthier...or at least feel some sympathy for me. I am no scholar, but I would love to show you how I study and plan and try to manage all my classes. Lastly, I am not an extraordinary writer. Just a girl with a laptop who wants to have an outlet of creativity. Beginnings are scary, but if you stick with me you just might enjoy it here.

If you made it this far, thank you for reading the inner workings of my heart.
xox,
Grace
