Back to Blogging

Yes, I know it's been months since I've blogged regularly. Trust me, I haven't forgotten my blog, I've actually been practicing a new form of blogging, where I compose full posts in my head and never get the time to actually write them out or where I forget what I wanted to say when I do have time.

I've actually had a lot to say lately too, so it's a shame that I haven't been able to get any of it out of my head and on to this blog. But lately I've felt a real pull to make the commitment to my blogging... for anyone who cares to read it and for myself. Putting my thoughts down in writing has been something that I've always loved and have something that I find incredibly therapeutic.

Sometimes what has kept my from blogging are the negative comparisons that I make between myself and other bloggers... especially those I admire. I tell myself that I'm not as funny as they are, I don't have the time to post the photos that they do, I'm not as good with words, and the worst one, that I have nothing to say that anyone wants to hear. I tear myself down with these negative thoughts and I keep myself from doing something that I really enjoy.

But I feel God pulling on different strings in my life, calling me to live my life OUT LOUD... to live a life that is a testimony to His love and His grace, both of which completely abound in my life. I am so inspired by the witness and testimony of others, by the effortlessness of their faith and the transparency with which they share it. I often think that I want to be more like that, less scared and more confident. And every journey starts with a single step...

So this blog is my first step, to sharing ME... who I am. I'm so excited!

What to Blog...

When I began this blog in ernest a few months ago, it was really a test to myself to see if I even could update on a regular basis. I'm surprised that I've been able to accomplish it and even more surprised how much I enjoy it.

So now I feel like it's time for me to expand a bit from solely digi-scrapping into a blog that really does encompass my whole life. Up until now, I've only shown the scrapping side of myself and really, that's ironic, because I'm leaving out everything else... everything that the title claims! LOL!

So I would like to try to write a bit more, to include of course my digi-scrapping stuff, but also my other hobbies such as photography and really just more about my real life... more of the kids, the business, the daily grind. So I hope that you all will stick around and take a bit of a closer look at ME! LOL!

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!
