Why I write this blog

Hi everyone.
My readers have been coming out of the woodwork lately (I mean the only way I know anyone's reading is if you comment, but whatever.) and it has been such a blessing to know you're out there and that what I have to say has touched or moved you at all.
Because that's why I write. I censor myself here -- you cannot even imagine the weirdness that goes on in my journal -- but I write as much as I feel is appropriate, as an outpouring of my heart, for anonymous friends, acquaintances, family members, professors and whoever else is out there wanting to listen.
My new motto, which I am unashamed to say I found on Pinterest, is "I will be brave with my story so others can be brave with theirs." I am cursed with honesty, really. I was talking about it with my mama last night. I told I think with each post I scare away more people because I am open and that is terrifying to many people. But she told me that what I do is important: I give the gift of little pieces of my heart to anyone with an internet connection, for the glory of God.
So here I am. And I'm thankful for you, reader. I hope this ourpouring splashes on you a little.

  1. I LOVE your motto... it is definitely something to live by. And... it works. It's very true that if people open up to me, I open to them. I will add it to my growing list of life stategies.
