Everything Starts with Change



What do you do when…? How would you…? Why would you…? Could you…? Who said…? Where in the world did you…? When did you…?  


Yes, we have all been asked that or asked it at least once in our lives.  For some it may be more than others. For me, it feels like a daily conversation, and yes sometimes those conversations are with myself.


Where to begin…


I’m just your average Indiana woman. I live a normal life, in a little town, surrounded by my friends and family. I enjoy the simple life: reading, watching movies, playing games, going for walks, crafting, sitting around catching up with friends. I make mistakes and I may not be the best house keeper, but I am blessed beyond measure.


Still we are left with these questions. What do you do when…? How would you…? Why would you…? Could you…? Who said…? Where in the world did you…? When did you…?  


For months I have been personally trying to make changes in my life. They aren’t life changing, but when you put them all together they should add up. Some people notice and some don’t, but that doesn’t matter because they are not who the changes are for.


So here is my first public change that I want people to hear, see, and understand. I am who I am. I work my hardest and give it my all. I will not fall to others. If I fail, I promise to get back up, brush myself off, and try again. Today, I type before you that I am not perfect, but I plan to share the joys of that with you.


My goal is to share with you my changes, challenges, successes, failures, dreams, goals, and most of all my spirit. I want people to know me for me. I don’t want to be that person that says one thing and does another. I want to be a role model, friend, believer, faithful, loving, truthful, and ME!


If you are someone that can’t stand a type-o or mistake, this blog is not for you.


If you are someone that can’t stand when people tell boring stores about the minute stuff that happens in their lives, this blog is not for you.


If you are someone who thinks the world revolves around you, this blog is not for you.


If you are someone who knows how hard life can be, this blog is for you.


If you are someone who just needs to know it will be okay, this blog is for you.


If you are someone who thinks you’re alone in this world, this blog is for you.


By now you know whether you want to follow this or not, but either way I wish you well.


This blog is MY way of being there, for understanding, for sharing, and expressing myself. I don’t need a ton of followers (Big thanks to those that do), but I do need a way to tell the world my story (even if it is only worth a grain of sand. It is my grain of sand and I want to be proud of it).


So here is to change…





To see the world in a grain of sand, and to see heaven in a wild flower, 
 hold infinity in the palm of your hands, and eternity in an hour.
