Welcome

Thank you for visiting my blog. As you can tell, I'm just getting into this whole blogging thing. I'm sure this will change shape as I get more "into it", but for now I hope that by sharing things about my life I will help to inspire and uplift others. (Or at least allow you to see that my life has ups and downs - just like everyone else's.)
Things you find here may be a little more personal than you normally find on people's blogs, but I've always had this way (friends and family may call it annoying) of digging a little deeper into situations, thoughts and feelings to find out why something might be happening to me and to those around me. The reason for this is because I believe we are here for a reason and that our lives have purpose and meaning. We are here to discover that meaning and to allow that growth to strengthen us and make us better people. I strongly believe that God knows us and watches over us. My faith in Him sees me through the hard times and helps me to see deeper meaning in my life.
I love to be with and around people and know that I'm so blessed to be a part of the lives of my family and friends! I believe each life that touches ours is meant to teach us something and help us on our way back to our Heavenly Home. Even and especially our little ones! I am a mother, but I have always loved children, and I believe we can learn from them - probably more than anyone else in our lives. After all, aren't we all learning and growing? And in some ways, and for some things, we are just as much at the "starting point" as our children are.
I would love to hear from you! If you feel so inclined, please feel free to share your thoughts and stories. With your permission, I may publish some of them to uplift and share with others. (I will keep stories anonymous if you wish.)
