Beauty in a Blog


Alright! A brand spanking new blog. How exciting!

I'd like to, if I may, introduce everyone to this little project. I've recently been through a few events in my life which lead me to question my faith in values, humanity, and the world itself. I felt hopeless. Ugly. Deciding I needed to find beauty again, I started growing flowers. It's important to understand I'm not an impressive gardener. My thumb is not green (which is quite sad, for that's my favorite color). Needless to say, many of the plants did not survive. However! Some of them did, and I love them. Here I was, having a horrid time trying to keep my chin up, and right in front of me was life. Beautiful life. So, I got to thinking... Is there more of this inspiration to be found? Can I seek out hope in other everyday occurrences?

Yes. I can. And, I will. Right here on this blog I'm going to document my findings. Curiosity is my new partner in crime. I think the above quote (photo found here) sums it up nicely:
Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. We keep moving forward, opening up new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
-Walt Disney
So, here I am. Being curious and searching relentlessly for beauty. Through thoughts, I'll find my hope. And when I do, I'm going to share it with the world.

Enjoy...
