Three Snippets About Me:

I started blogging exactly sixteen months ago to release and find a place to share my feelings without hurting others. I wanted to inspire and create so others might avoid the well of anxiety I fell into during a time when I was a corked bottle of angry emotions. Finding my community here gives me a puddle of sunshine to splash in when life is dark.

I recently spent a week cooking at Witch Camp! It was a hot week crafting magic in the kitchen but seeing how much the food was enjoyed and appreciated made it all worthwhile. I learned so much from meeting new people and attending the nighttime rituals at camp and have come home a new person.

I am short and dumpy and sometimes slur my words but I am human and am learning to love instead of shame myself. May you all learn to do the same.

To answer Kathy’s Nominee questions:

1. What movie have you seen recently and do you recommend it?

I recently watched SpiderMan: Far From Home, and do recommend it for the way it portrays the illusions we so easily accept.

2. What motivates you to blog?

I am motivated to blog by my need to share. I blog for the hope that all the sunshine I let out is making a little sliver in the veil of darkness and piercing through to make the world a better place, in however small a way.

3. Who makes you laugh the most?

I laughed the most last week when one of my friend’s sweated so much, her pants were wet from it. Mine were too . . . we laughed together.

4. What are you most proud of in life?

I am proud of standing up and making my voice heard!

5. What is one place you would like to visit but have never had the opportunity?

One place I still dream of going to is New Zealand but right now I find so much beauty in just this little piece of land where I live, it is hard to think of leaving.

Favorite/Best Posts:

I feel like my best post is the one that was best received, which I consider to be Blogging Is Evolution. If you disagree and have a personal favorite, do let me know!

My favorite post, however, is Diary Of A Foster Child. It was a joy to create and it was presented in a new format that I personally loved putting together.
