Hey everyone! I wanted to do a small introduction of myself and my blog so that you can get to know me better. I have always been a late bloomer when it comes to most things: fashion trends, Pinterest, blogging, etc. But I figure better late than never. One of my goals for the 2015 actually began a few weeks before the New Year: my sister-in-law left to serve a mission for our church in Sweden. I couldn't be more proud of her and her decision to leave everything and go and spread the word of God. She is so brave and outgoing and kind, and though she is almost a decade younger than me, she is a total role model :) This got me thinking: what am I doing to step outside my comfort zone? What things am I missing out on in life because I have been too scared or afraid? So I made a change. I started going out with our local missionaries to assist in lessons and build my own testimony. If I ever get questioned by someone about my beliefs and my religion, I probably should be more proactive about learning about it so I have the right answers to give them. Along with this, I started volunteering more. I volunteered to both assist and donate at local blood drives, help at our local food store for those in need, give a talk in church (
always scary to me!), and even play my instrument! For those of you who don't know, I have horrible stage fright :(
I wanted to change. And in some small ways I have. I am less scared and less afraid. I have made new friends and rekindled old friendships. And this is why I am finally jumping on the blogging bandwagon: I am making small changes all around me and I want to document those changes for others to see, in the hopes that it might inspire them to make a change and make a difference in their life. Just like my sister-in-law did for me:)
