Changes

I believe that part of my passion/calling/spiritual gifting is encouraging others. I have been thinking and praying a lot about how I can best use this blogging space to do just that...to spur others on in this journey of life.    What draws you to a blog? I have realized that the blogs I follow religiously and truly look forward to reading are those that dive into *real life* and give me a glimpse into a *real person's* struggles, joys, and passions. I want to author a blog like that...I want to write from my heart, to share what my *real, dirty, unedited life* looks like.
I don't know exactly what that new blog will look like or when it will unfold, but it is on the horizon. It is easy to look at someone's little piece of the internet and think, "Gosh, what a perfect life." I don't want that. I want others to read what I write and come away thinking, "Thank goodness there is someone else on this planet who struggles with that! Maybe we can learn how to grow together!"
Part of the process of deciphering what my new blog will look like is examining my heart and narrowing down the message(s) I want to share. A few things that I know I am passionate about are: Beauty...and the battle many women fight to feel beautiful Single living The grief journey...what it looks like to grieve after losing a loved one Kids! Especially those who are vulnerable and alone. Nursing.
I'm not sure if I have many readers still out there, but if you are, what kinds of things do you want to read about?
